Yahweh’s promise to Baruk

Jer 45:1–5

45This is the message that the prophet Yirmeyah (Jeremiah) dictated to Neriyah’s son Baruk to have it written on a scroll in the fourth year of of the reign of Yehudah’s King Yehoyakim (Jehoiakim, son of Yoshiyah/Josiah):[ref] 2Yisrael’s god Yahweh says this to you Baruk: 3You’ve said, ‘I’m not doing well because Yahweh has piled sorrow on top of my pain. I’m exhausted from groaning and I can’t find any peace.’

4Yahweh says to tell Baruk, Listen, I’m about to tear down what I’ve built throughout the world, and to pull out what I’ve planted. 5But maybe you’re hoping for great things for yourself? Don’t hope for that, because listen, disaster is coming for all humanity, but wherever you go, I’m giving you your life as your ‘spoil of war’. That is Yahweh’s declaration.
