KJV ¹ The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

VULC ¹ Verbum quod locutus est Jeremias propheta ad Baruch filium Neriæ, cum scripsisset verba hæc in libro ex ore Jeremiæ, anno quarto Joakim filii Josiæ regis Juda, dicens :

WLC ¹ הַדָּבָ֗ר אֲשֶׁ֤ר דִּבֶּר֙ יִרְמְיָ֣הוּ הַנָּבִ֔יא אֶל־ בָּר֖וּךְ בֶּֽן־ נֵֽרִיָּ֑ה בְּכָתְבוֹ֩ אֶת־ הַדְּבָרִ֨ים הָאֵ֤לֶּה עַל־ סֵ֙פֶר֙ מִפִּ֣י יִרְמְיָ֔הוּ בַּשָּׁנָה֙ הָֽרְבִעִ֔ית לִיהוֹיָקִ֧ים בֶּן־ יֹאשִׁיָּ֛הוּ מֶ֥לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר׃

KJV ² Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:

VULC ² Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël ad te, Baruch :

WLC ² כֹּֽה־ אָמַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עָלֶ֖יךָ בָּרֽוּךְ׃

KJV ³ Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

VULC ³ Dixisti : Væ misero mihi ! quoniam addidit Dominus dolorem dolori meo : laboravi in gemitu meo, et requiem non inveni.

WLC ³ אָמַ֙רְתָּ֙ אֽוֹי־ נָ֣א לִ֔י כִּֽי־ יָסַ֧ף יְהוָ֛ה יָג֖וֹן עַל־ מַכְאֹבִ֑י יָגַ֙עְתִּי֙ בְּאַנְחָתִ֔י וּמְנוּחָ֖ה לֹ֥א מָצָֽאתִי׃

KJV 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.

VULC ⁴ Hæc dicit Dominus : Sic dices ad eum : Ecce quos ædificavi, ego destruo, et quos plantavi, ego evello, et universam terram hanc :

WLC ⁴ כֹּ֣ה ׀ תֹּאמַ֣ר אֵלָ֗יו כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה הִנֵּ֤ה אֲשֶׁר־ בָּנִ֙יתִי֙ אֲנִ֣י הֹרֵ֔ס וְאֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־ נָטַ֖עְתִּי אֲנִ֣י נֹתֵ֑שׁ וְאֶת־ כָּל־ הָאָ֖רֶץ הִֽיא׃

KJV ⁵ And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.

VULC ⁵ et tu quæris tibi grandia ? noli quærere, quia ecce ego adducam malum super omnem carnem, ait Dominus, et dabo tibi animam tuam in salutem in omnibus locis ad quæcumque perrexeris.

WLC ⁵ וְאַתָּ֛ה תְּבַקֶּשׁ־ לְךָ֥ גְדֹל֖וֹת אַל־ תְּבַקֵּ֑שׁ כִּ֡י הִנְנִי֩ מֵבִ֨יא רָעָ֤ה עַל־ כָּל־ בָּשָׂר֙ נְאֻם־ יְהוָ֔ה וְנָתַתִּ֨י לְךָ֤ אֶֽת־ נַפְשְׁךָ֙ לְשָׁלָ֔ל עַ֥ל כָּל־ הַמְּקֹמ֖וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר תֵּֽלֶךְ־ שָֽׁם׃
