What does Jeremiah 45:5 mean?

And you — do you expect special treatment for yourself? Don’t look for great things for yourself right now. I’m bringing disaster on everyone, says the Lord, but wherever you go, I’ll let you escape with your life.' Jeremiah 45:5 - Modern Text Bible

(God tells Baruch not to seek personal success or comfort in a time of judgment, but promises to protect his life.)
