1
The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at the dictation of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
2 haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel ad te Baruch
2
“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:
3 dixisti vae misero mihi quoniam addidit Dominus dolorem dolori meo laboravi in gemitu meo et requiem non inveni
3
You said, ‘Woe is me! For the Lord has added sorrow to my pain. I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest. ’
4 haec dices ad eum sic dicit Dominus ecce quos aedificavi ego destruo et quos plantavi ego evello et universam terram hanc
4
Thus shall you say to him, Thus says the Lord: Behold, what I have built I am breaking down, and what I have planted I am plucking up—that is, the whole land.
5 et tu quaeris tibi grandia noli quaerere quia ecce ego adducam malum super omnem carnem ait Dominus et dabo tibi animam tuam in salutem in omnibus locis ad quaecumque perrexeris
5
And do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not, for behold, I am bringing disaster upon all flesh, declares the Lord. But I will give you your life as a prize of war in all places to which you may go. ”
