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.

The verse 3 is found in chapter 45 of Jeremiah. Baruch receives a personal word in the midst of a time of calamity. God acknowledges his weariness and commands him not to seek great things for himself. The promise to preserve his life shows that faithfulness in times of crisis may simply consist of receiving life preserved by God, rather than obtaining personal greatness.

Du sprichst: Weh mir, wie hat mir der HERR Jammer zu meinem Schmerz hinzugefügt! Ich seufze mich müde und finde keine Ruhe.

Tú dijiste: “¡Ay de mí! Jehová ha añadido tristeza a mi dolor. Estoy cansado de gemir y no he encontrado descanso”».
Tu dis: Malheur à moi! car l'Eternel ajoute le chagrin à ma douleur; je m'épuise en soupirant, et je ne trouve point de repos.
Tu hai detto: Ahi lasso me! perciocchè il Signore ha sopraggiunta tristizia al mio dolore; io mi affanno ne’ miei sospiri, e non trovo alcun riposo.
Disseste: Ai de mim agora, porque me acrescentou o SENHOR tristeza sobre minha dor! Estou cansado do meu gemido, e não acho descanso.
你曾說:『哀哉!耶和華使我愁上加愁,我因呻吟而困乏,不得安歇。』
