A Message to Baruch

   1 When Baruch son of Neriah wrote on a scroll the

words Jeremiah the prophet dictated in the fourth

year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah,

Jeremiah said this to Baruch:   2 "This is what the

LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:   3 You

said, 'Woe to me! The LORD has added sorrow to my

pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.'

4 But the LORD has told me to say to you, 'This is

what the LORD says: I will overthrow what I have built

and uproot what I have planted, throughout the

earth.   5 Should you then seek great things for

yourself? Do not seek them. For I will bring disaster

on all people, declares the LORD, but wherever you

go I will let you escape with your life.' "
