Jeremiah’s Message to Baruch

1This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote these words on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:

2“This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: 3You have said, ‘Woe is me because Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain! I am worn out with groaning and have found no rest.’”

4Thus Jeremiah was to say to Baruch: “This is what Yahweh says: Throughout the land I will demolish what I have built and uproot what I have planted. 5But as for you, do you seek great things for yourself? Stop seeking! For I will bring disaster on every living creature, declares Yahweh, but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a spoil of war.”

  • JER 45:5[NOTE]GREAT THINGS FOR YOURSELF. Baruch came from an important family; his brother Seraiah was a royal officer, 51:59. God told him to let go of big dreams for himself.
