3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the Almighty hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Almighty saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.

Jeremiah Chapter 45 Summary
In Jeremiah chapter 45, the prophet Jeremiah delivers a message from the Almighty to Baruch, the son of Neriah. This message is given to Baruch after he’d written down the words spoken by Jeremiah in a book. This event occurred during the fourth year of Jehoiakim’s reign, the king of Juda.
Baruch was feeling overwhelmed and sorrowful, expressing his distress to the Almighty. He stated that his grief has been compounded by the Almighty’s actions. He finds no respite from his sighs and despair.

However, as a promise to Baruch, the Almighty assures him that his life will be spared although he will be sought after. This chapter shines light on the themes of judgment, destruction, and the preservation of Baruch’s life amidst the impending turmoil. Be careful what you declare upon yourself.
