1This is the word that the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote these words on a scroll at Jeremiah's dictation in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:1The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
2"This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:2Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;
3'You have said, "Woe is me, because the LORD has added misery to my pain! I am worn out with groaning and have found no rest."'3Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
4"This is what you are to say to him: 'This is what the LORD says: "What I have built I am about to demolish, and what I have planted I am about to uproot--the whole land!4Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.
5But as for you, do you pursue great things for yourself? Stop pursuing! For I am about to bring disaster on everyone"--this is the LORD's declaration--"but I will grant you your life like the spoils of war wherever you go."'"5And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
