Jeremiah 29:25-29

25“This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says: You in your own name have sent out letters to all the people of Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah, and to all the priests, saying,

26‘The Lord has appointed you priest in place of the priest Jehoiada to be the chief officer in the temple of the Lord, responsible for every madman who acts like a prophet. You must confine him in the stocks and an iron collar.

27So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth who has been acting like a prophet among you?

28For he has sent word to us in Babylon, claiming, “The exile will be long. Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat their produce.”’”

29The priest Zephaniah read this letter in the hearing of the prophet Jeremiah.
