Jeremiah
Chapters 29:28-32
Revised Version 1885
28forasmuch as he hath sent unto us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them?
29And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
30Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
31Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he hath caused you to trust in a lie;
32therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed; he shall not have a man to dwell among this people, neither shall he behold the good that I will do unto my people, saith the Lord: because he hath spoken rebellion against the Lord.
