Jeremiah’s Message to Baruch 1This is the word that Jeremiah (whom YHWH has appointed) the prophet spoke to Baruch (blessed) son of Neriah (lamp of YHWH) when he wrote these words on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim (YHWH raises up) son of Josiah (whom YHWH heals), king of Judah (praised): 2“This is what the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God), says to you, Baruch (blessed): 3You have said, ‘Woe is me because the LORD {YHWH} has added sorrow to my pain! I am worn out with groaning and have found no rest.’” 4Thus Jeremiah was to say to Baruch \Thus you shall say to him:/:a “This is what the LORD {YHWH} says: Throughout the land I will demolish what I have built and uproot what I have planted. 5But as for you, do you seek great things for yourself? Stop seeking! For I will bring disaster on every living creature, declares the LORD {YHWH}, but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a spoil of war.” Footnotes: 4 a Literally Thus you shall say to him: The Berean Annotated Bible (BAB) is the Annotated version of the Berean Standard Bible (BSB).
