Jeremiah 29:21-32

21ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, concerningH413 AhabH256 the sonH1121 of KolaiahH6964, and concerningH413 ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, who prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto you in my nameH8034: Behold, I will deliver them into the handH3027 of Nebuchadrezzar kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and he shall slay them before your eyesH5869; 22and of them shall be takenH3947 up a curseH7045 by all the captives of JudahH3063 that are in BabylonH894, sayingH559, Jehovah makeH7760 thee like ZedekiahH6667 and like AhabH256, whom the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 roastedH7033 in the fireH784; 23because they have wrought follyH5039 in IsraelH3478, and have committed adulteryH5003 with their neighbors’H7453 wivesH802, and have spokenH1696 wordsH1697 in my nameH8034 falsely, which I commandedH6680 them not; and I am he that knoweth, and am witnessH5707, saith Jehovah.

24And concerningH413 ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161 thou shalt speak, sayingH559, 25ThusH3541 speaketh Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Because thou hast sentH7971 lettersH5612 in thine own nameH8034 unto all the peopleH5971 that are at JerusalemH3389, and to ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, the priestH3548, and to all the priestsH3548, sayingH559, 26Jehovah hath madeH5414 thee priestH3548 in the stead of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, that there may beH1961 officersH6496 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, for every manH376 that is madH7696, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest putH5414 him in the stocksH4115 and in shackles. 27NowH6258 thereforeH6258, whyH4100 hast thou not rebukedH1605 JeremiahH3414 of Anathoth, who maketh himself a prophet to you, 28forasmuch as he hath sentH7971 unto us in BabylonH894, sayingH559, The captivity is longH752: buildH1129 ye housesH1004, and dwellH3427 in them; and plantH5193 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them? 29And ZephaniahH6846 the priestH3548 readH7121 this letterH5612 in the earsH241 of JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030. 30Then came the wordH1697 of Jehovah unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 31SendH7971 to all them of the captivity, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah concerning ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161: Because that ShemaiahH8098 hath prophesiedH5012 unto you, and I sentH7971 him not, and he hath caused you to trustH982 in a lieH8267; 32thereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah, Behold, I will punishH6485 ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161, and his seedH2233; he shall not have a manH376 to dwellH3427 among this peopleH5971, neither shall he behold the goodH2896 that I will do unto my peopleH5971, saith Jehovah, because he hath spokenH1696 rebellionH5627 against Jehovah.
