45:1 This is the message that Jeremiah the prophet gave to Baruch son of Neriah when he was writing down on a scroll the words that Jeremiah was dictating. This was in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah.
45:2 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch.
45:3 You said, “Woe is me! The Lord has added sorrow to my pain. I am worn out with groaning and I have found no rest.”
45:4 This is what the Lord says. Tell him that I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted throughout the whole world.
45:5 So should you then be seeking great things for yourself? Stop seeking them. I will certainly bring disaster on every living thing, declares the Lord. But in every place you go, I will let you hang on to your life like a prize of war.
