1 The message that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, 2 "Yahweh, the God of Israel, says 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 "You shall tell him, Yahweh says: ‘Behold, that which I have built, I will break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land. 5 Do you seek great things for yourself? Don’t seek them; for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh,’ says Yahweh, ‘but I will let you escape with your life wherever you go.’"

1 以下是犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年，耶利米先知对尼利亚的儿子巴录所说的话*巴录从耶利米口中把这些话写在书卷上：2 "巴录啊！耶和华以色列的　神这样说：3 ‘你曾说：我有祸了！因为耶和华在我的痛苦上加添忧愁。我因唉哼而困乏，得不着安宁。’"4 耶和华对耶利米说："你要这样对他说：‘耶和华这样说：看哪！我所建立的，我必拆毁；我所栽种的，我必拔除。我必这样对待全地。5 你要为自己图谋大事吗？不要图谋！看哪！我必使灾祸降在全人类身上，但无论你到甚么地方去，我必使你捡回自己的性命。’"这是耶和华的宣告。
