n°24 / Jeremiah 45 :

1The 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,
2Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch :
3Thou 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.
4Thus 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.
5And 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.
