1This is the message Jeremiah the prophet gave to Baruch son of Neriah. It was in the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah. Baruch had written these words on a scroll as Jeremiah spoke them. 2"This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: 3You said, 'How terrible for me! The LORD has added sorrow to my pain! I am worn out from groaning. I have found no rest.'" 4So Jeremiah was to say to Baruch, "This is what the LORD says: All through the land I will tear down what I have built. I will pull up what I have planted. 5But you, are you looking for great things for yourself? Stop looking for them! For I will bring disaster on every living thing, says the LORD. But wherever you go, I will let you escape with your life like a prize of war."
