Jeremiah 45:1-3

Expanded Bible

A Message to Baruch

45 It was the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah [^C605 bc]. Jeremiah the prophet told these things to Baruch son of Neriah [32:12–13; 36; 43:1–3], and Baruch wrote them on a scroll: ² “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: ³ You have said, ‘·How terrible it is for [Woe is] me! The Lord has given me sorrow along with my pain. I am tired because of my ·suffering [groaning] and cannot rest.’”
