Verse BSB Berean Standard Bible KJV King James Version

This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote these words on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah , king of Judah :

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,

“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you , Baruch:

Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee , O Baruch:

You have said , ‘ Woe is me because the LORD has added sorrow to my pain! I am worn out with groaning and have found no rest. ’”

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.

Thus Jeremiah was to say to Baruch: “This is what the LORD says: Throughout the land I will demolish what I have built and uproot what I have planted.

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 .

But as for you, do you seek great things for yourself ? Stop seeking! For I will bring disaster on every living creature , declares the LORD , but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a spoil of war . ”

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 .
