Jeremiah 45 - Christian Standard Bible（CSB）

The Lord

’s Message to Baruch

1This is the word that the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah  when he wrote these words on a scroll at Jeremiah’s dictation  ,

in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah: 

2“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:

3‘You have said, “Woe is me, because the Lord has added misery to my pain! I am worn out with  groaning and have found no rest.” ’ 

4“This is what you are to say to him: ‘This is what the Lord says: “What I have built I am about to demolish, and what I have planted I am about to uproot   #— #the whole land!

5But as for you, do you pursue great things for yourself? Stop pursuing! For I am about to bring disaster on all humanity” #— #this is the Lord’s declaration #— #“but I will grant you your life like the spoils of war  wherever you go.” ’ ”
