Jeremiah 45

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
