Armiya 45

The Word that Armiya1 the prophet spoke to Baruch Ibn Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Armiya, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim Ibn Josiah, king of Judah, saying, 2“Thus says YAHWEH,2 the God3 of Israel, to you, Baruch: 3‘You said, “Woe is me now! For YAHWEH has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.”‘

4“Thus shall you tell him, ‘Thus says YAHWEH: “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. 5Do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh,” says YAHWEH; “but your life will I give to you for a prey in all places where you go.”‘”
