Chapter 45

1

THE word that Yirmeyahu the prophet spoke unto Baruk the son of Neriyahu, when he had written these words in a cepher at the mouth of Yirmeyahu, in the fourth year of Yahuyaqiym the son of Yo'shiyahu king of Yahudah, saying,

2

Thus says Yahuah, the Elohai of Yashar'el, unto you, O Baruk;

3

You did say, Woe is me now! for Yahuah has added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

4

Thus shall you say unto him, Yahuah says thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.

5

And seek you great things for yourself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, says Yahuah: but your life will I give unto you for a prey in all places whither you go.
