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.
