Jeremiah 45

1 [the] word which to speak: speak Jeremiah [the] prophet to(wards) Baruch son: child Neriah in/on/with to write he [obj] [the] word [the] these upon scroll: book from lip Jeremiah in/on/with year [the] fourth to/for Jehoiakim son: child Josiah king Judah to/for to say

This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet told Baruch son of Neriah. This happened when he wrote in a scroll these words at Jeremiah's dictation—this was in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, and he said,

2 thus to say LORD God Israel upon you Baruch

“Yahweh, God of Israel, says this to you, Baruch:

3 to say woe! please to/for me for to add LORD sorrow upon pain my be weary/toil in/on/with sighing my and resting not to find

You have said, 'Woe is me, for Yahweh has added agony to my pain. My groaning has wearied me; I find no rest.'

4 thus to say to(wards) him thus to say LORD behold which to build I to overthrow and [obj] which to plant I to uproot and [obj] all [the] land: country/planet he/she/it

This is what you must say to him: 'Yahweh says this: See, what I built, I am now tearing down. What I planted, I am now pulling up—I will do this throughout all the earth.

5 and you(m. s.) to seek to/for you great: large not to seek for look! I to come (in): bring distress: harm upon all flesh utterance LORD and to give: give to/for you [obj] soul: life your to/for spoil upon all [the] place which to go: went there

But are you hoping for great things for yourself? Do not hope for that. For see, disaster is coming on all humanity—this is Yahweh's declaration—but I am giving you your life as your plunder everywhere you will go.'”
