Jeremiæ 45

1 verbum quod locutus est Hieremias propheta ad Baruch filium Neri cum scripsisset verba haec in libro de ore Hieremiae anno quarto Ioachim filii Iosiae regis Iuda dicens

The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah; saying,

2 haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel ad te Baruch

Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:

3 dixisti vae misero mihi quoniam addidit Dominus dolorem dolori meo laboravi in gemitu meo et requiem non inveni

Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.

4 haec dices ad eum sic dicit Dominus ecce quos aedificavi ego destruo et quos plantavi ego evello et universam terram hanc

Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith the LORD: Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land.

5 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

And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
