Jeremiah 45:3-5

CAB(i) 3 Seeing that you have said, Alas! alas! For the Lord has laid a grievous trouble upon me; I lay down in groaning, and I find no rest. 4 Thus you shall say to him, Thus says the Lord: Behold, I pull down those whom I have built up, and I pluck up those whom I have planted. 5 And will you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not. For behold, I bring evil upon all flesh, says the Lord; but I will give to you your life for a prize in every place that you go.
