Jeremiah 45:3-5

Rotherham(i) 3 Thou didst say, Surely woe to me! For Yahweh hath added, sorrow unto my pain,––I am weary with my moaning, And, rest, have I not found! 4 Thus, shalt thou say unto him, Thus, saith Yahweh,––Lo! what I had built, I, am pulling down, And, what I had planted, I, am rooting up,––And that, is, all the land: 5 Wouldst, thou, then seek to secure for thyself great things? Do not seek! For, behold me! bringing in calamity upon all flesh, Declareth Yahweh, Nevertheless I will give thee thine own life as a spoil, in all places whithersoever thou goest.
