Jeremiah

1 The word that Jeremi­ah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Ne­r­i­ah, when he had writ­ten these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremi­ah, in the fourth year of Je­hoiakim the son of Josi­ah king of Ju­dah, say­ing, 2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Is­rael, unto thee, O Baruch; 3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sor­row; I faint­ed in my sigh­ing, and I find no rest. 4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Be­hold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have plant­ed I will pluck up, even this whole land. 5 And seek­est thou great things for thy­self? seek them not: for, be­hold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whith­er thou goest.
