A Message to Baruch
1 When Baruch son of Neriah wrote on a scroll the words Jeremiah the prophet dictated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, Jeremiah said this to Baruch:
2 “This is what theLord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:
3 You said, ‘Woe to me! TheLordhas added sorrow to my pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.’
4 But theLordhas told me to say to you, ‘This is what theLordsays: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted, throughout the earth.
5 Should you then seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares theLord, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.’ ”
