The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,  “Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch; ‘Thou didst say, “Woe is me now! For the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.” ‘
“Thus shalt thou say unto him, ‘The LORD saith thus; “Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.  And seekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh,” saith the LORD: “but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.” ‘ ”
Jeremiah 45:1-5
