Jeremiah 45:3-5

New Living Translation

³ You have said, ‘I am overwhelmed with trouble! Haven’t I had enough pain already? And now the Lord has added more! I am worn out from sighing and can find no rest.’

⁴ “Baruch, this is what the Lord says: ‘I will destroy this nation that I built. I will uproot what I planted. ⁵ Are you seeking great things for yourself? Don’t do it! I will bring great disaster upon all these people; but I will give you your life as a reward wherever you go. I, the Lord, have spoken!’”
