Jeremiah 45:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ You are moaning and blaming me, the Lord, for your troubles and sorrow, and for being so tired that you can't even rest. ⁴ But all over the earth I am tearing down what I built and pulling up what I planted. ⁵ I am bringing disaster everywhere, so don't even think about making any big plans for yourself. However, I promise that wherever you go, I will at least protect you from death. I, the Lord, have spoken.
