*
The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Nerijah ,
when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah ,
in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah ,
the king of Judah ,
saying ,
*
Thus sayeth Jehovah ,
the God of Israel ,
concerning thee ,
Baruch :
*
Thou didst say ,
Woe unto me !
for Jehovah hath added grief to my sorrow ;
I am weary with my sighing ,
and I find no rest .
*
Thus shalt thou say unto him ,
Thus saith Jehovah :
Behold ,
what I have built do I overthrow ,
and what I have planted I pluck up ,
even this whole land .
*
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 shalt go .
