45:1 The
word
that
Jeremiah
the
prophet
spoke
to
Baruch
the
son
of
Neriah,
when
he
wrote
these
words
in
a
book
at
the
dictation
of
Jeremiah,
in
the
fourth
year
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah:
45:2 "Thus
says
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
to
you,
O
Baruch:
45:3 You
said,
'Woe
is
me!
For
the
LORD
has
added
sorrow
to
my
pain.
I
am
weary
with
my
groaning,
and
I
find
no
rest.'
45:4 Thus
shall
you
say
to
him,
Thus
says
the
LORD:
Behold,
what
I
have
built
I
am
breaking
down,
and
what
I
have
planted
I
am
plucking
up--that
is,
the
whole
land.
45:5 And
do
you
seek
great
things
for
yourself
Seek
them
not,
for
behold,
I
am
bringing
disaster
upon
all
flesh,
declares
the
LORD.
But
I
will
give
you
your
life
as
a
prize
of
war
in
all
places
to
which
you
may
go."
