1The word1697 that Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 spake1696 unto Baruch1263 the son1121 of Neriah5374, when he had written3789 these words1697 in a book5612 at the mouth6310 of Jeremiah3414, in the fourth7243 year8141 of Jehoiakim3079 the son1121 of Josiah2977 king4428 of Judah3063, saying559,
2Thus saith559 the LORD3068, the God430 of Israel3478, unto thee, O Baruch1263;
3Thou didst say559, Woe188 is me now! for the LORD3068 hath added3254 grief3015 to my sorrow4341; I fainted3021 in my sighing585, and I find4672 no rest4496.
4Thus shalt thou say559 unto him, The LORD3068 saith559 thus; Behold, that which I have built1129 will I break down2040, and that which I have planted5193 I will pluck up5428, even this whole land776.
5And seekest1245 thou great things1419 for thyself? seek1245 them not: for, behold, I will bring935 evil7451 upon all flesh1320, saith5002 the LORD3068: but thy life5315 will I give5414 unto thee for a prey7998 in all places4725 whither thou goest3212.
