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.’ ”
