45When Baruch^w son of Neriah^x wrote on a scroll^y the words Jeremiah the prophet dictated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim^z 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: ³You said, ‘Woe^a to me! The Lord has added sorrow^b to my pain;^c I am worn out with groaning^d and find no rest.’^e ⁴But the Lord has told me to say to you, ‘This is what the Lord says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot^f what I have planted,^g throughout the earth.^h ⁵Should you then seek greatⁱ things for yourself? Do not seek them.^j For I will bring disaster^k on all people,^l declares the Lord, but wherever you go I will let you escape^m with your life.’ ”ⁿ
