For the LORD has added sorrow to my pain. I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.’"hm...haha
The chapter (Jeremiah 45) seems to be about a man who was serving God and the prophet Jeremiah but it made him a wanted man while at first he wanted to gain notoriety out of it. I've read an interpretation of it and it says that it relates to how young fresh christian soldiers turn away at the first difficulties. The real story was only concerning that Baruch guy though.

This is what follows, I interpret this as speaking of Karma

Quote:And do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not, for behold, I am bringing disaster upon all flesh, declares the LORD. But I will give you your life as a prize of war in all places to which you may go.”
And then there's this, Yahweh seems to promise the guy that he won't be killed wherever he goes, and to not seek great things for himself. I think I'm of Yahweh and this group seems to be weird in many ways in their interractions with this sphere, but I guess Ra was not so much better at first too.
If that doesn't speak to you maybe it will to someone else reading it here. You didn't get so bad of a verse or chapter actually. It speaks of mission and serving while confronted to karma while being faithful and humble.
