2 Thus hath the Lord, the God of Israel said unto thee, O Baruch:
3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the Lord has added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I have found no rest.
4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord said thus: Behold, I destroy those whom I have built up and those whom I have planted I pluck up, even this whole land.
5 And dost thou seek great things for thyself? seek them not; for, behold, I bring evil upon all flesh, said the Lord: but I will give thee thy life as a spoil of battle in all places where thou goest.
