Jeremiah 45:3-5

New King James Version

³ ‘You said, “Woe is me now! For the Lord has added grief to my sorrow. I ^(A)fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.” ’

⁴ “Thus you shall say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Behold, ^(B)what I have built I will break down, and what I have planted I will pluck up, that is, this whole land. ⁵ And do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, ^(C)I will bring adversity on all flesh,” says the Lord. “But I will give your ^(D)life to you as a prize in all places, wherever you go.” ’ ”
