Ang Pangako ni Yahweh kay Baruc

45 Noong(A) ika-4 na taon ng paghahari sa Juda ni Jehoiakim, anak ni Josias, kinausap ni Jeremias si Baruc na anak ni Nerias; isinulat naman nito ang lahat ng idinikta ng propeta: “Baruc, ito ang sinasabi sa iyo ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel. Sinabi mo sa akin na kahabag-habag ka sapagkat dinagdagan ni Yahweh ang iyong paghihirap; pinadalhan ka niya ng kalungkutan. Pagod ka na sa pagdaing, at wala kang kapahingahan. Subalit ipinapasabi sa iyo ni Yahweh, ‘Winawasak ko ang aking itinayo, at binubunot ko ang aking itinanim. Gagawin ko ito sa buong daigdig. Huwag mo nang hangaring makamit ang mga dakilang bagay, sapagkat padadalhan ko ng kapahamakan ang lahat; gayunman, ipinapangako kong iingatan ko ang iyong buhay saan ka man pumunta. Akong si Yahweh ang maysabi nito!”

Assurance to Baruch

45 The (A)word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to (B)Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book [a]at the instruction of Jeremiah, in the (C)fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch: ‘You said, “Woe is me now! For the Lord has added grief to my sorrow. I (D)fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.” ’

“Thus you shall say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Behold, (E)what I have built I will break down, and what I have planted I will pluck up, that is, this whole land. And do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, (F)I will bring adversity on all flesh,” says the Lord. “But I will give your (G)life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go.” ’ ”
