The Lord's Message to Baruch

1 [This is] the word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote these words on a scroll at Jeremiah's dictation^a in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah: 2 "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: 3 'You have said, Woe is me, because the Lord has added misery to my pain! I am worn out with^b groaning and have found no rest. 4 " 'This is what you are to say to him: This is what the Lord says: What I have built I am about to demolish, and what I have planted I am about to uproot^c-the whole land! 5 But as for you, do you seek great things for yourself? Stop seeking! For I am about to bring disaster on every living creature'-[this is] the Lord's declaration-'but I will grant you your life like the spoils [of war]^d wherever you go.' "
