Jeremiah 45

1 Here is what Yirmeyahu said to Barukh the son of Neriyah when he wrote these words in a book at Yirmeyahu's dictation, in the fourth year of Y'hoyakim the son of Yoshiyahu, king of Y'hudah: 2 "This is what Adonai the God of Isra'el says concerning you, Barukh. You said,

3 ‘Woe to me now!
Adonai has compounded my pain with sorrow,
I am weary from groaning,
and I can find no relief!'

4 "Tell him that Adonai says:

‘I will tear down what I built up,
I will uproot what I planted,
and this throughout the land.

5 Are you seeking great things for yourself? Don't! For I am bringing disaster on everything living,' says Adonai. ‘But wherever you go, you will escape with your life.'"
