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, 2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch; 3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
4 ¶ Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD 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. 5 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.
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
2 haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel ad te Baruch
3 dixisti vae misero mihi
quoniam addidit Dominus dolorem dolori meo
laboravi in gemitu meo et requiem non inveni
4 haec dices ad eum sic dicit Dominus
ecce quos aedificavi ego destruo
et quos plantavi ego evello et universam terram hanc
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
