NASB
""Thus says the LORD the God of Israel to you, O Baruch:"
— Jeremiah 45:2, NASB
“Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;”
“Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch: ”
“Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to you, Baruch:”
““The LORD God of Israel has a message for you, Baruch.”
“Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to thee, Baruch:”
“This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said of you, O Baruch:”
“Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;”
This is the message which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written down these words in a book at Jeremiah's dictation, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying:
"Thus says the LORD the God of Israel to you, O Baruch:
'You said, "Ah, woe is me! For the LORD has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning and have found no rest."'
"Thus you are to say to him, 'Thus says the LORD, "Behold, what I have built I am about to tear down, and what I have planted I am about to uproot, that is, the whole land."
'But you, are you seeking great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I am going to bring disaster on all flesh,' declares the LORD, 'but I will give your life to you as booty in all the places where you may go.'"
