Jeremiah 29:24-32

24Now you shall speakH559 to 1ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161, sayingH559, 25“ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: ‘BecauseH3282H834 you have sentH7971 2lettersH5612 in your own nameH8034 to allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 are in JerusalemH3389, and to 3the priestH3548 ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, and to allH3605 the priestsH3548, sayingH559, 26“The LordH3068 has madeH5414 you priestH3548 insteadH8478 ofH8478 JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, to be the 45overseerH6496 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 for everyH3605 6insaneH7696 personH7696 who 7prophesiesH5012, to 8putH5414 him in the stocksH4115 and in the ironH6729 collarH6729. 27So nowH6258, whyH4100 have you not rebukedH1605 JeremiahH3414 of 9AnathothH6069 who prophesiesH5012 to you, 28seeingH3588H5921H3651 that he has 10sentH7971 word to us in BabylonH894, sayingH559, ‘11The exile will be 12longH752; 13buildH1129 housesH1004 and liveH3427 in them, and plantH5193 gardensH1593 and eatH398 their 14produceH6529’?”’”

29Now 15ZephaniahH6846 the priestH3548 readH7121 thisH2088 letterH5612 16to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030. 30Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 31“SendH7971 word to 17allH3605 the exilesH1473, sayingH559, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559 concerningH413 18ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161: “BecauseH3282H834 ShemaiahH8098 has 19prophesiedH5012 to you, although I did not sendH7971 him, and he has 20made you trustH982 in a lieH8267,” 32thereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am going to 21punishH6485 ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161 and his 22descendantsH2233; he will 23not haveH1961 anyoneH376 livingH3427 amongH8432 thisH2088 peopleH5971, 24and he will not seeH7200 the goodH2896 that I am going to doH6213 for My peopleH5971,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “becauseH3588 he has 25spokenH1696 falselyH5627 againstH5921 the LordH3068.”’”
