Jeremiæ 45

1 Verbum, quod locutus est Ieremias propheta ad Baruch filium Neriæ, cum scripsisset verba hæc in libro ex ore Ieremiæ, anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, dicens:

The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

2 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad te Baruch:

Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, unto you, O Baruch:

3 Dixisti: Væ misero mihi, quoniam addidit Dominus dolorem dolori meo: laboravi in gemitu meo, et requiem non inveni.

You did say, Woe is me now! for the LORD has added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

4 Hæc dicit Dominus: Sic dices ad eum: Ecce quos ædificavi, ego destruo: et quos plantavi, ego evello, et universam terram hanc.

Thus shall you say unto him, The LORD says thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.

5 Et tu quæris tibi grandia? noli quærere: quia ecce ego adducam malum super omnem carnem, ait Dominus: et dabo tibi animam tuam in salutem in omnibus locis, ad quæcumque perrexeris.

And seek you great things for yourself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, says the LORD: but your life will I give unto you for a prey in all places where you go.
