The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the
son of Neriah ,
when he wrote these word
in
a book
at the mouth
of Jeremiah ,
in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the
son of Josiah, king of Judah ,
saying,
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 :
Thus shall
you
tell
him,
Thus
says Yahweh
: Behold,
that
which
I have
built
will I break
down,
and that
which
I have planted I
will
pluck
up;
and
this
in
the
whole
land
.
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.
Seek
you great things for yourself? Don't
seek
them;
for ,
behold,
I will bring evil
on all
flesh
, says
Yahweh;
but your life will
I
give
to
you
for
a prey
in
all
places
where
you
go
.
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
. ”
