                                    This is what Jeremiah the prophet told Baruch son of Neriah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, after Baruch had written on a scroll the words Jeremiah was then dictating:
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 45:2 | 
                                 
                                    "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 45:3 | 
                                 
                                    You said, `Woe to me! The LORD has added sorrow to my pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.' "
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 45:4 | 
                                 
                                    The LORD said, "Say this to him: `This is what the LORD says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted, throughout the land.

| 45:5 | 
                                 
                                    Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the LORD, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.' "
