Jeremiah 45:1-3

1This is the message which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to 1Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had 2written down these words in a book 3at Jeremiah’s dictation, in the 4fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying:

2“Thus says the Lord the God of Israel to you, O Baruch:

3‘You said, “Ah, woe is me! For the Lord has added sorrow to my pain; I am 5weary with my groaning and have found no rest.”’
