1This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote these words on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:[ † ]Jeremiah 36:1-4, 32Jeremiah 32:12-16Jeremiah 43:3Jeremiah 25:1Jeremiah 36:1Jeremiah 46:2
2“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: 3You have said, ‘Woe is me because the Lord has added sorrow to my pain! I am worn out with groaning and have found no rest.’”[ † ]Psalms 6:6Psalms 69:32 Corinthians 4:1-16Galatians 6:9
4Thus Jeremiah was to say to Baruch: “This is what the Lord says: Throughout the land I will demolish what I have built and uproot what I have planted.[ † ]Isaiah 5:5Jeremiah 1:10Jeremiah 11:17Jeremiah 18:7-10Jeremiah 31:28 5But as for you, do you seek great things for yourself? Stop seeking! For I will bring disaster on every living creature, declares the Lord, but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a spoil of war.”[ † ]Jeremiah 25:17-26Jeremiah 21:9Jeremiah 38:2Jeremiah 39:18
