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.’ ”

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.”
