God's Promise to Baruch
1 #
2 Kgs 24.1; 2 Chr 36.5–7; Dan 1.1–2 In the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah, Baruch wrote down what I had dictated to him. Then I told him 2that the LORD, the God of Israel, had said, “Baruch, 3you are saying, ‘I give up! The LORD has added sorrow to my troubles. I am worn out from groaning, and I can't find any rest!’
4“But I, the LORD, am tearing down what I have built and pulling up what I have planted. I will do this to the entire earth. 5Are you looking for special treatment for yourself? Don't do it. I am bringing disaster on the whole human race, but you will at least escape with your life wherever you go. I, the LORD, have spoken.”

The Lord’s Message to Baruch
1This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch son of Neriah # Jr 32:12 when he wrote these words on a scroll at Jeremiah’s dictation # 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 # 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 seek great things for yourself? Stop seeking! For I am about to bring disaster on every living creature’ — 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.’ ”
