The Prophecy
of Jeremias 45
The word that Jeremias the prophet spoke to Baruch the
son of Nerias, when he had written there words in a
book, out of the mouth of Jeremias, in the fourth year
of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, saying:
Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to thee, Baruch:
Thou hast said: Woe is me, wretch that I am, for the
Lord hath added sorrow to my sorrow: I am wearied with
my groans, and I find no rest.
Thus saith the Lord: Thus shalt thou say to him: Behold,
them whom I have built, I do destroy: and them whom
I have planted, I do pluck up, and all this land.
And dost thou seek great things for thyself ? Seek not
: for behold I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith
the Lord ! but I will give thee thy life, and save thee
in all places whithersoever thou shalt go. |
