29 When Zephaniah received Shemaiah's letter, he read it to me.
30 Then the Lord told me what to write in a second letter
31 to the people of Judah who had been taken to Babylonia. In this letter, I wrote that the Lord had said:I, the Lord, have not chosen Shemaiah to be one of my prophets, and he has misled you by telling lies in my name.
32 He has even talked you into disobeying me. So I will punish Shemaiah. He and his descendants won't live to see the good things I will do for my people. I, the Lord, have spoken.
