KJ3 Literal Translation
Jeremiah 45
Baruch is dismayed, and Jeremiah instructs and comforts him.
1The Word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch, the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a writing from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
2So says Jehovah, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:
3You said, Woe is me now, for Jehovah has added grief to my pain; I fainted in my groaning, and I find no rest.
4So you shall say to him, Jehovah says this: Behold, I am tearing down what I have built; and I am pulling up that which I have planted, even all the land itself to Me.
5And do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them. For, behold, I will bring an evil thing on all flesh, a statement of Jehovah. But I will give your soul to you for a prize, there on all the places where you go.
