“1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of
Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of
Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of
Judah, saying, 2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O
Baruch; 3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief
to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest. 4 Thus shalt
thou say unto him, The LORD saith 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 seekest thou great things for thyself? seek
[them] not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the
LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places
whither thou goest.” (Jeremiah 45:1-5 AV)
