Jeremiah 45

45:1The word which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in the scroll from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

45:2Thus said the lord the God of Israel, concerning you, O Baruch.

45:3For you said, Alas, for the lord added toil upon my misery. I went to bed in my moanings, I did not find rest.

45:4You said to him! Thus said the lord, Behold, What I built up I demolish, and what I planted I pluck, even all the land of mine.

45:5And you seek to yourself great things. You should not seek. For behold, I bring bad things upon all flesh, says the lord. But I will give to you your life for gain in every place wherever you should proceed there.
