The word which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying,
申言者耶利米对巴录所说的话，是在犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年，由尼利亚的儿子巴录将耶利米口中所说以下这些话写在书上，说，

Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, concerning you, O Baruch:
巴录啊，论到你，耶和华以色列的神如此说，

You said, Woe is me! For Jehovah has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning and have not found rest.
你曾说，我有祸了！耶和华将忧愁加在我的痛苦上；我因唉哼而困乏，不得安歇。

Thus you shall say to him, Thus says Jehovah, What I have built I am about to tear down; and what I have planted I am about to pluck up, even this whole land.
你要这样告诉他，耶和华如此说，我要拆毁我所建造的；我要拔出我所栽植的，在这全地我都要如此行。

And are you seeking great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for I am about to bring evil upon all flesh, declares Jehovah, but I will give your own life to you as spoil in all places where you may go.
你为自己图谋大事么？不要图谋，因我必使灾祸临到凡有血肉的；但你无论往哪里去，我必将你的性命赐给你为掠物；这是耶和华说的。
