Jeremiah

Chapter 45

1-2 The doctrine/word that Jeremiah the prophet
communicated categorically {dabar}
unto Baruch the son of Neriah,
when he had written these words/doctrine {dabar}
in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah,
in the fourth year of Jehoiakim
the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying {'amar}, 2
Thus said {'amar} the Jehovah/God,
the Elohiym/Godhead of Israel,
unto you, O Baruch.

3 You didst say,
Woe is me now!

For the Jehovah/God has added grief to my sorrow.

I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

4 Thus shall you say unto him,
The Jehovah/God said 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.

5 And seek you great things for yourself?

Seek them not!

For, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh,
said the Jehovah/God,
But your life will I give unto you
for a prey in all places whither you go.
