[:en]SCRIPTURE: JEREMIAH 45
“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: You said, ‘Woe to me! The Lord has added sorrow to my pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.'” The Lord said, “Say this to him:’This is what the Lord says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted throughout the land. Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the Lord, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.” (Jeremiah 45:2-5)
After Baruch had written a second scroll of the prophecy since Jehoiakim had burned the original, God gave a message to Baruch through Jeremiah. The Lord comforted Baruch telling him not to be afraid because He will protect him wherever he goes.[:]
