Jeremiah 29:24-28

24And thou shalt speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,

25Thus speaketh Jehovah of hosts, the 1God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

26Jehovah hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that there should be officers [in] the house of Jehovah, over every madman and self-made prophet, that thou shouldest put him in the stocks and in the shackles.

27And now, why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, who maketh himself a prophet to you?

28Forasmuch as he hath sent unto us in Babylon, saying, It will be long; build houses, and dwell [in them], and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
