| 1 This is what Jeremiah the prophet told Baruch son of Neriah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, after Baruch had written on a scroll the words Jeremiah was then dictating: |
| 2 "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: |
| 3 You said, 'Woe to me! The LORD has added sorrow to my pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.'" |
| 4 The LORD said,"Say this to him: 'This is what the LORD says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted, throughout the land. |
| 5 Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the LORD, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.'" |
