Jeremiah Chapter 45

1The message that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, 2Thus says ForeverOne, the God of Israel, to you, Baruch: 3You said, Woe is me now! for ForeverOne has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.

4You shall tell him, Thus says ForeverOne: Behold, what I have built will I break down, and what I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land.

5Do you seek great things for yourself? Don't seek them; for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh, says ForeverOne; but your life will I give to you for a prey in all places where you go.
