| 1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of
Neriah, when he wrote these word in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the
fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, 2 Thus
saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch: 3 Thou didst say,
Woe is me now! for Jehovah hath added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my
groaning, and I find no rest. 4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith
Jehovah: Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I
have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land. 5 And seekest
thou great things for thyself? seek them not; for, behold, I will bring evil
upon all flesh, saith Jehovah; but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey
in all places whither thou goest.
