Jeremiah
Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, calls Judah to repent as Babylon approaches. He suffers rejection, watches the city fall, and yet records God’s promise to write the law on the heart.
Young's Literal Translation
Jeremiah 45
1The word that Jeremiah the prophet hath spoken unto Baruch son of Neriah, in his writing these words on a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying: 2`Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning thee, O Baruch: 3`Thou hast said, Woe to me, now, for Jehovah hath added sorrow to my pain, I have been wearied with my sighing, and rest I have not found. 4Thus dost thou say unto him: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, that which I have built I am throwing down, and that which I have planted I am plucking up, even the whole land itself. 5And thou--thou seekest for thee great things--do not seek, for lo, I am bringing in evil on all flesh--an affirmation of Jehovah--and I have given to thee thy life for a spoil, in all places whither thou goest.'
