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.
