45:1  In the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah, Baruch wrote down what I had dictated to him. Then I told him
45:2  that the Lord, the God of Israel, had said, “Baruch,
45:3  you are saying, ‘I give up! The Lord has added sorrow to my troubles. I am worn out from groaning, and I can't find any rest!’
45:4  “But I, the Lord, am tearing down what I have built and pulling up what I have planted. I will do this to the entire earth.
45:5  Are you looking for special treatment for yourself Don't do it. I am bringing disaster on all people, but you will at least escape with your life, wherever you go. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
