                                    The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Nerijah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying,
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 45:2 | 
                                 
                                    Thus sayeth Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning thee, Baruch:
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 45:3 | 
                                 
                                    Thou didst say, Woe unto me! for Jehovah hath added grief to my sorrow; I am weary with my sighing, and I find no rest.
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 45:4 | 
                                 
                                    Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, what I have built do I overthrow, and what I have planted I pluck up, even this whole land.
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 45:5 | 
                                 
                                    And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek [them] not; for behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith Jehovah; but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou shalt go.
