Jeremia 45
nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
Herren tillrättavisar Baruk
45 Detta är vad profeten Jeremia talade till Baruk, Nerias son, han som efter Jeremias diktamen skrev ner vad han hade sagt, under Judakungen Jojakims, Josias sons, fjärde regeringsår: 2 ”Så säger Herren, Israels Gud, till dig, Baruk: 3 Du har sagt: ’Ve mig! Herren har lagt mer sorg till min plåga. Jag är trött på mina egna suckar och kan inte få någon ro.’ 4 Säg till honom så här: Så säger Herren: ’Se, vad jag har byggt upp ska jag riva ner och vad jag har planterat ska jag rycka upp. Så ska det ske med hela jorden.[a] 5 Ska du då söka något stort för din egen del? Sök inget sådant. För jag låter olyckor komma över alla dessa människor, säger Herren, men jag ska låta dig behålla ditt liv som byte, vart du än går.’ ”

Jeremiah 45
1599 Geneva Bible
45 2 Jeremiah comforteth Baruch, assuring him that he should not perish in the destruction of Jerusalem.
1 The word that Jeremiah the Prophet spake unto [a]Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these [b]words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel unto thee, O Baruch,
3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now: for the Lord hath laid sorrow unto my sorrow: I [c]fainted in my mourning, and I can find no rest.
4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord saith thus, Behold, that which I have built, will I [d]destroy, and that which I have planted, will I pluck up, even this whole land.
5 And seekest [e]thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for behold, I will bring a plague upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life will I give thee for [f]a prey in all places, whither thou goest.
