This is the message which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to  aBaruch the son of Neriah, when he had  bwritten down these words in a book  1at Jeremiah's dictation, in the  cfourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying:

2

"Thus says the LORD the God of Israel to you, O Baruch:

3

`You said, "Ah, woe is me! For the LORD has added sorrow to my pain; I am  aweary with my groaning and have found no rest."'

4

"Thus you are to say to him, `Thus says the LORD, "Behold,  awhat I have built I am about to tear down, and what I have planted I am about to uproot, that is, the whole land."

5

`But you, are you  aseeking great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I am going to  bbring disaster on all flesh,' declares the LORD, `but I will  cgive your life to you as booty in all the places where you may go.' "
