Jeremiah 45:4

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.

Cross-reference

In Jeremiah 1:10, the same verbs (root out, pull down, build, plant) appear in Jeremiah's commission — here God does what Jeremiah was appointed to.

Jeremiah 11:17 says the Lord who planted Israel now pronounces disaster—directly echoing the planted-then-destroyed pattern of this verse.

In Jeremiah 18:7-10, God's conditional judgment uses the same 'pluck up' language — showing He relents if people repent, unlike the declared judgment here.

In Jeremiah 31:28, God promises to build and plant after plucking up — completing the cycle that Jer 45:4 only shows destruction.

Jeremiah 12:2 describes God planting Israel so they take root, but their hearts are far from Him—showing the planting that later leads to the plucking up here.

Genesis 6:7 Parallel

In Genesis 6:7, God declares destruction of His creation — directly parallel to Jer 45:4's 'break down what I built'.

Isaiah 5:2-7 describes God planting a vineyard that yields wild grapes, so He breaks it down—directly echoing God's action of destroying what He built here.

2 Chronicles 7:20 uses the same 'pluck up' language, warning that if Israel forsakes God, He will uproot them from the land—mirroring this judgment.

Isaiah 5:6 Parallel

Isaiah 5:6 continues the vineyard judgment with God making it a waste—a specific parallel to the breaking down and plucking up of the land here.

Psalm 80:8 Allusion

In Psalm 80:8 (likely intended), God plants Israel as a vine — the planting that Jer 45:4 reverses by plucking up.
