word in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of
Judah, saying, 45:2Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to you, Baruch: 45:3You did say, Woe is me
now! for Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.
45:4Thus shall you tell him, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, that which I have built will I break down,
and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land. 45:5Seek you great things
for yourself? Don't seek them; for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh, says Yahweh; but your life
will I give to you for a prey in all places where you go.
