Jeremiah 45

1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Nerijah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying,

Verbum, quod locutus est Ieremias propheta ad Baruch filium Neriae, cum scripsisset verba haec in libro ex ore Ieremiae, anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda, dicens:

2 Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning thee, Baruch:

Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad te Baruch:

3 Thou didst say, Woe unto me! for Jehovah hath added grief to my sorrow; I am weary with my sighing, and I find no rest.

Dixisti: Vae misero mihi, quoniam addidit Dominus dolorem dolori meo: laboravi in gemitu meo, et requiem non inveni.

4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, what I have built do I overthrow, and what I have planted I pluck up, even this whole land.

Haec dicit Dominus: Sic dices ad eum: Ecce quos aedificavi, ego destruo: et quos plantavi, ego evello, et universam terram hanc.

5 And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek [them] not; for behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith Jehovah; but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou shalt go.

Et tu quaeris tibi grandia? noli quaerere: quia ecce ego adducam malum super omnem carnem, ait Dominus: et dabo tibi animam tuam in salutem in omnibus locis, ad quaecumque perrexeris.
