Jeremiah 45:4
Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land. Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.
Jeremiah 45:4 belongs to that portion of the book which records the history of the two years preceding the fall of Jerusalem. It announces divine judgment upon the entire land, in which God would demolish what He had constructed and uproot what He had established. For Baruch, as a servant of God living amid such general calamity, this meant he was not to look for a comfortable existence or for great advantages to himself.
