² The LORD, God of Israel, don say, “Baruch,

³ You dey talk say, ‘I don give up! The LORD don add sorrow to my trouble. Cry don make me tire, and I no fit find any rest!”

⁴ “But I, the LORD, I dey tear down wetin I don build and I dey uproot wetin I don plant. I go do this to all the earth.

⁵ Shey you dey look for special treatment for yourself? Make you no do am. I dey bring disaster on all human being, but you go at least escape with your life anywhere you go. I, the LORD, don talk.”
