The Lord has added sorrow to my pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.' ' 45:4 The Lord said, 'Say this to him: 'This is what the Lord says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted, throughout the land. 45:5 Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the Lord , but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.' '
