Jeremiah 29:24-31
24You are to tellH559 ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161 thatH559 25this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: “In your own nameH8034 youH859 have sent outH7971 lettersH5612 toH413 allH3605 the peopleH5971 of JerusalemH3389, toH413 the priestH3548 ZephaniahH6846 sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, and toH413 allH3605 the priestsH3548. You saidH559 to Zephaniah:1
26‘The LORDH3068 has appointedH5414 you priestH3548 in place ofH8478 JehoiadaH3077, to beH1961 the chief officerH6496 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, responsible for anyH3605 madmanH376H7696 who acts like a prophetH5012—you must putH5414 himH853 inH413 stocksH4115H413 and neck ironsH6729. 27So nowH6258, whyH4100 have you notH3808 rebukedH1605 JeremiahH3414 of AnathothH6069, who poses as a prophetH5012 among you? 28ForH3588H5921H3651 he has sentH7971 to usH413 in BabylonH894, claimingH559: Since the exileH1931 will be lengthyH752, buildH1129 housesH1004 and settle downH3427; plantH5193 gardensH1593 and eatH398 their produceH6529.’”
29(ZephaniahH6846 the priestH3548, however, had readH7121 thisH2088 letterH5612 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030.)
30Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 toH413 JeremiahH3414H559: 31“SendH7971 a messageH5921 tellingH559 allH3605 the exilesH1473 whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559 concerningH413 ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161. BecauseH3282 ShemaiahH8098 has prophesiedH5012 to you—though IH589 did notH3808 send himH7971—and has made you trustH982 inH5921 a lieH8267,
