Jeremiah 45

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

Verbum, quod locutus est Ieremias propheta ad Baruch filium Neriæ, cum scripsisset verba hæc in libro ex ore Ieremiæ, anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, dicens:

2 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:

Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad te Baruch:

3 You did say, Woe is me now! for the LORD has added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

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

4 Thus shall you say to him, The LORD says 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.

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

5 And seek you great things for yourself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh, says the LORD: but your life will I give to you for a prey in all places where you go.

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