The word{H1697} that Jeremiah{H3414} the prophet{H5030} spake{H1696} unto Baruch{H1263} the son{H1121} of Neriah,{H5374} when he wrote{H3789} these words{H1697} in a book{H5612} at the mouth{H6310} of Jeremiah,{H3414} in the fourth{H7243} year{H8141} of Jehoiakim{H3079} the son{H1121} of Josiah,{H2977} king{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} saying,{H559}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} unto thee, O Baruch:{H1263}

Thou didst say,{H559} Woe{H188} is me now! for Jehovah{H3068} hath added{H3254} sorrow{H3015} to my pain;{H4341} I am weary{H3021} with my groaning,{H585} and I find{H4672} no rest.{H4496}

Thus shalt thou say{H559} unto him, Thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} Behold, that which I have built{H1129} will I break down,{H2040} and that which I have planted{H5193} I will pluck up;{H5428} and this in the whole land.{H776}

And seekest{H1245} thou great things{H1419} for thyself? seek{H1245} them not; for, behold, I will bring{H935} evil{H7451} upon all flesh,{H1320} saith{H5002} Jehovah;{H3068} but thy life{H5315} will I give{H5414} unto thee for a prey{H7998} in all places{H4725} whither thou goest.{H3212}
