Jeremiah 45
45
A Message to Baruch.#At the conclusion of his narrative, Baruch appends a message Jeremiah had given him when he first wrote down Jeremiah’s words (cf. 36:4). The future revealed by the prophet overwhelmed Baruch; now he learns his own safety is assured, even though the Lord will destroy Judah. 1The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch, son of Neriah, when he wrote on a scroll words from Jeremiah’s own mouth in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah:#Jer 36:4, 18, 32. 2Thus says the Lord, God of Israel, to you, Baruch. 3You said, “Woe is me! the Lord has added grief to my pain.#Lam 1:3; 5:5. I have worn myself out with groaning; rest eludes me.” 4You must say this to him. Thus says the Lord: What I have built, I am tearing down; what I have planted, I am uprooting: all this land.#Jer 18:7; Is 5:5–6. 5And you, do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them! I am bringing evil on all flesh—oracle of the Lord—but I will grant you your life as spoils of war, wherever you may go.#Jer 25:26–29.

1The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch, the son of Neriah, at his writing these words on a scroll from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying,#Literally “to say” 2“Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch: 3‘You said, “Woe please to me, for Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain. I am weary in my groaning and I do not find rest.” ’ 4Thus you will say to him: ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Look, what I have built I am about to tear down, and what I have planted I am about to pluck up, it is all the land. 5And you, do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek great things,#Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation for look, I am about to bring disaster upon all flesh,” declares#Literally “a declaration of” Yahweh, “but to you I will give your life as booty in all the places where you may go.” ’ ”
