The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written 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

Myr shoh ta'n Chiarn Jee Israel dy ghra rhyt's, O Varuch;

Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:

3

Dooyrt uss, Smerg dooys nish! son ta'n Chiarn er laadey treihys er my hrimshey; ren mee gannooinaghey ayns my osnaghyn as cha vel mee geddyn fea,

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.

4

Myr shoh nee oo gra rish, Shoh ta'n Chiarn dy ghra, Cur-my-ner, shen ny ta mee er droggal nee'm lhieggal, as shen ta mee er hoiaghey astyr-ym ass ny fraueyn, eer yn slane cheer shoh.

Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.

5

As vel uss shirrey vondeishyn er-lheh dhyt hene? ny shir y lheid: son cur-my ner, ver-yms lhiam olk er dy chooilley eill ta'n Chiarn dy ghra; agh bee dty vioys lhiggit lhiat raad erbee dy jed oo.

And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
