Thus says the LORD ,
the God of Israel ,
to you ,
O Baruch :
* "
You said , "
Woe is me now !
For the LORD has added grief to my sorrow .
I fainted in my sighing ,
and I find no rest ."'
* "
Thus you shall say to him , "
Thus says the LORD : "
Behold ,
what I have built I will break down ,
and what I have planted I will pluck up ,
that is ,
this whole land .
*
And do you seek great things for yourself ?
Do not seek them ;
for behold ,
I will bring adversity on all flesh ,"
says the LORD . "
But I will give your life to you as a prize in all places ,
wherever you go .""'
