|
|
| 2 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning thee, O Baruch: |
|
|
| 3 'Thou hast said, Wo to me, now, for Jehovah hath added sorrow to my pain, I have been wearied with my sighing, and rest I have not found. |
|
|
| 4 Thus dost thou say unto him: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, that which I have built I am throwing down, and that which I have planted I am plucking up, even the whole land itself. |
|
|
| 5 And thou thou seekest for thee great things do not seek, for lo, I am bringing in evil on all flesh an affirmation of Jehovah and I have given to thee thy life for a spoil, in all places whither thou goest.' |
