Jeremiah 29:24-32

24Now you shall speak to 1Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, 25“This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Because you have sent 2letters in your own name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to 3the priest Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, and to all the priests, saying, 26“The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to be the 45overseer of the house of the Lord for every 6insane person who 7prophesies, to 8put him in the stocks and in the iron collar. 27So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of 9Anathoth who prophesies to you, 28seeing that he has 10sent word to us in Babylon, saying, ‘11The exile will be 12long; 13build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their 14produce’?”’”

29Now 15Zephaniah the priest read this letter 16to Jeremiah the prophet. 30Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 31“Send word to 17all the exiles, saying, ‘This is what the Lord says concerning 18Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has 19prophesied to you, although I did not send him, and he has 20made you trust in a lie,” 32therefore this is what the Lord says: “Behold, I am going to 21punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his 22descendants; he will 23not have anyone living among this people, 24and he will not see the good that I am going to do for My people,” declares the Lord, “because he has 25spoken falsely against the Lord.”’”
