Jeremiah 45

1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet hath spoken unto Baruch son of Neriah, in his writing these words on a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim 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 said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning thee, O Baruch:

Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad te Baruch:

3 'Thou hast said, Woe to me, now, for Jehovah hath added sorrow to my pain, I have been wearied with my sighing, and rest I have not found.

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

4 Thus dost thou say unto him: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, that which I have built I am throwing down, and that which I have planted I am plucking up, even the whole land itself.

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

5 And thou — thou seekest for thee great things — do not seek, for lo, I am bringing in evil on all flesh — an affirmation of Jehovah — and I have given to thee thy life for a spoil, in all places whither thou goest.'

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.
