4 Baruch (Paralipomena Jeremiou) from the Ancient Writings of The Set-Apart Bible. Read free with the Sacred Names (Yahweh, Yahshua, Elohim) and audio narration.
1 It happened, when the sons of Israel were taken away into captivity by the king of the Chaldeans, that Elohim spoke to Jeremiah: “Jeremiah, my elect, rise, go out of this city, you and Baruch, because I am about to destroy it on account of the many sins of those who dwell in it.
2 For your prayers are like a solid pillar within it, and like an adamantine wall surrounding her.
3 Now rise and go out, before the host of the Chaldeans surrounds it.”
4 And Jeremiah answered, saying: “I implore you, Adonai, permit me, your servant, to speak before you.” And the Adonai said: “Speak, my elect Jeremiah.”
5 And Jeremiah spoke, saying, “Adonai Almighty, are you handing over the elect city into the hands of the Chaldeans, so that the king, along with the multitudes of his people, might boast and say, ‘I prevailed over the holy city of Elohim’?
6 May it not be, Adonai! But if it is your will, let it be destroyed by your own hands.”
