Jeremiah

²⁷Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you, ²⁸because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long. Build houses, and dwell in them. Plant gardens, and eat their fruit?”’” ²⁹Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet. ³⁰Then the Lord’s word came to Jeremiah, saying, ³¹“Send to all of the captives, saying, ‘the Lord says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I didn’t send him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie;” ³²therefore the Lord says, “Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his offspring. He will not have a man to dwell among this people. He won’t see the good that I will do to my people,” says the Lord, “because he has spoken rebellion against the Lord.”’”
