1
In the fourth year[1] of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, Yahweh gave me a word for Baruch son of Neriah while I was dictating to Baruch the message that he wrote down in a scroll.
2
I said to him, “Baruch, this is what Yahweh God of Israel says about you.
3
‘You have been thinking: “These are horrible times for me. In addition to my pain, now Yahweh adds sorrow to my troubles. I am worn out with groaning, with relief nowhere in sight!” ’
4
But here is a message for you. Yahweh says to you: ‘That which I have built I am about to knock down, and what I have planted I will uproot over the entire land.
5
Are you seeking personal greatness for yourself?[2] Do not seek it, for I am now going to bring disaster on all humanity, but I will ensure that you escape with your life wherever you may go,’ declares Yahweh.”[3]
