1安慰巴錄的話以下是猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬第四年，耶利米先知對尼利亞的兒子巴錄所說的話（巴錄從耶利米口中把這些話寫在書卷上）：
1The message that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
2“巴錄啊！耶和華以色列的 神這樣說：
2Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to you, Baruch:
3‘你曾說：我有禍了！因為耶和華在我的痛苦上加添憂愁。我因唉哼而困乏，得不著安寧。’”
3You said, Woe is me now! for Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.
4耶和華對耶利米說：“你要這樣對他說：‘耶和華這樣說：看哪！我所建立的，我必拆毀；我所栽種的，我必拔除。我必這樣對待全地。
4You shall tell him, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land.
5你要為自己圖謀大事嗎？不要圖謀！看哪！我必使災禍降在全人類身上，但無論你到甚麼地方去，我必使你撿回自己的性命。’”這是耶和華的宣告。
5Do you seek great things for yourself? Don’t seek them; for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh, says Yahweh; but your life will I give to you for a prey in all places where you go.
