A Message for Baruch
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.” ’ ”

Jeremiah 45
45
A final word for Baruch
1In the fourth year of Judah’s King Jehoiakim, Josiah’s son, Baruch was writing in a scroll the words that Jeremiah was dictating to him. Jeremiah the prophet told Baruch, Neriah’s son: 2This is what the LORD the God of Israel proclaims about you, Baruch: 3You have said, “I can’t take it anymore! The LORD has added sorrow to my pain. I’m worn out from groaning and can find no rest.” 4This is what you should say to him: “The LORD proclaims: I’m breaking down everything I have built up. I’m digging up that which I have planted—the entire land. 5You seek great things for yourself, but don’t bother. I’m bringing disaster on all humanity, declares the LORD, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.”
