OEB JER Chapter 45

◄ JER 45 ► ║ ©

45 This is the message that Jeremiah the prophet delivered to Baruch the son of Neriah, after he had written these words in a book to Jeremiah’s dictation in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah. 2 "This, Baruch, is the message to thee from Jehovah, the God of Israel.

3 Thou hast said, ’Woe is me! for Jehovah

to my pain hath added sorrow;

With groaning I am weary,

And I have found no rest.’

4 Let this be thy message to him, Thus saith Jehovah: When I must destroy what I built,

And when I must uproot what I planted,

5 Shalt thou seek great things for thyself?

Seek them not; for, behold, I will bring

On all flesh, saith Jehovah, disaster;

But thou, wheresoever thou comest,

By My grace, shalt escape with thy life."
