2“Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:2"This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:
3‘You said, “Woe is me now! For the LORD has added grief to my sorrow. I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.” ’3'You have said, "Woe is me, because the LORD has added misery to my pain! I am worn out with groaning and have found no rest."'
4“Thus you shall say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD: “Behold, what I have built I will break down, and what I have planted I will pluck up, that is, this whole land.4"This is what you are to say to him: 'This is what the LORD says: "What I have built I am about to demolish, and what I have planted I am about to uproot--the whole land!
5And do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I will bring adversity on all flesh,” says the LORD. “But I will give your life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go.” ’ ”5But as for you, do you pursue great things for yourself? Stop pursuing! For I am about to bring disaster on everyone"--this is the LORD's declaration--"but I will grant you your life like the spoils of war wherever you go."'"
