Jeremiah 45

1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto 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 Neriae, cum scripsisset verba haec in libro ex ore Ieremiae, anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda, dicens:

2 Thus saith Yhwh, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;

Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad te Baruch:

3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for Yhwh hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in 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, Yhwh saith 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.

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 Yhwh: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.

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.
