The Lord’s Message to Baruch
1This is the word that the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah#Jr 32:12 when he wrote these words on a scroll at Jeremiah’s dictation#45:1 Lit scroll from Jeremiah’s mouth#Jr 36:4,18 in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:#Jr 36:1 2“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: 3‘You have said, “Woe is me, because the Lord has added misery to my pain! I am worn out with#45:3 Lit I labored in my groaning and have found no rest.”’#Ps 6:6
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#Jr 24:6 — the whole land! 5But as for you, do you pursue great things for yourself? Stop pursuing! For I am about to bring disaster on all humanity” — this is the Lord’s declaration — “but I will grant you your life like the spoils of war#Jr 21:9; 38:2; 39:18 wherever you go.”’”

The Lord Will Not Let Baruch Be Killed
1 #
2 K 24.1; 2 Ch 36.5-7; Dn 1.1,2. In the fourth year that Jehoiakim#45.1 Jehoiakim: See the note at 1.3. was king of Judah, Baruch wrote down everything I had told him.#45.1 Baruch wrote down everything I had told him: See 36.1-32. 2Then later, the Lord God of Israel told me to say to Baruch:
3You are moaning and blaming me, the Lord, for your troubles and sorrow, and for being so tired that you can't even rest. 4But all over the earth I am tearing down what I built and pulling up what I planted. 5I am bringing disaster everywhere, so don't even think about making any big plans for yourself. However, I promise that wherever you go, I will at least protect you from death. I, the Lord, have spoken.
