Jeremiah 45:3-5

English Standard Version

³ You said, ^(A)‘Woe is me! For the Lord has added sorrow to my pain. ^(B)I am weary with my groaning, ^(C)and I find no rest.’ ⁴ Thus shall you say to him, Thus says the Lord: ^(D)Behold, what I have built I am breaking down, and what I have planted I am plucking up—that is, the whole land. ⁵ And ^(E)do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not, for behold, ^(F)I am bringing disaster upon all flesh, declares the Lord. But I will give you ^(G)your life as a prize of war in all places to which you may go.”
