Jeremiah 45

Jeremiah 45:4
Thus you are to say to him, 'Thus says the LORD, "Behold, what I have built I am about to tear down, and what I have planted I am about to uproot, that is, the whole land."
I don't know who Baruch was.  I guess maybe a leader of some kind, either a priest or military commander?  Whatever he was, he felt the disaster of the people upon himself.

However, God has not abandoned him completely.  He is given a notice by God of what is coming, even though it's not good.  Apparently, this gave him a chance to prepare himself, even though he could do nothing to chance the future.
