[3] Thou didst say H559 (8804), Woe H188 is me now! for the LORD H3068 hath added H3254 (8804) grief H3015 to my sorrow H4341; I fainted H3021 (8804) in my sighing H585, and I find H4672 (8804) no rest H4496.
[4] Thus shalt thou say H559 (8799) unto him, The LORD H3068 saith H559 (8804) thus; Behold, [that] which I have built H1129 (8804) will I break down H2040 (8802), and that which I have planted H5193 (8804) I will pluck up H5428 (8802), even this whole land H776.
[5] And seekest H1245 (8762) thou great things H1419 for thyself? seek H1245 (8762) [them] not: for, behold, I will bring H935 (8688) evil H7451 upon all flesh H1320, saith H5002 (8803) the LORD H3068: but thy life H5315 will I give H5414 (8804) unto thee for a prey H7998 in all places H4725 whither thou goest H3212 (8799).

Jeremiah 45 (YLT)
[1] The word that Jeremiah the prophet hath spoken unto Baruch son of Neriah, in his writing these words on a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying:
[2] ‘Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning thee, O Baruch:
[3] ‘Thou hast said, Woe to me, now, for Jehovah hath added sorrow to my pain, I have been wearied with my sighing, and rest I have not found.
[4] Thus dost thou say unto him: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, that which I have built I am throwing down, and that which I have planted I am plucking up, even the whole land itself.
[5] And thou-thou seekest for thee great things-do not seek, for lo, I am bringing in evil on all flesh-an affirmation of Jehovah-and I have given to thee thy life for a spoil, in all places whither thou goest.’
