耶利米書 第 45 章

¹猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬第四年，尼利亞的兒子巴錄將先知耶利米口中所說的話寫在書上。耶利米說：The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake 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巴錄啊，耶和華─以色列的神說：Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;

³巴錄（原文是你）曾說：哀哉！耶和華將憂愁加在我的痛苦上，我因唉哼而困乏，不得安歇。Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

⁴你要這樣告訴他，耶和華如此說：我所建立的，我必拆毀；我所栽植的，我必拔出；在全地我都如此行。Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith 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你為自己圖謀大事麼？不要圖謀！我必使災禍臨到凡有血氣的。但你無論往哪裡去，我必使你以自己的命為掠物。這是耶和華說的。And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
