Jeremiah 29:24-29

24You shall also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,

25Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: You have sent letters in your name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

26“The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, so that there should be officers in the house of the Lord over every man who is demented and considers himself a prophet, that you should put him in prison and in the stocks.

27Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth who makes himself a prophet to you?

28For he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, ‘This captivity is long; build houses and dwell in them, and plant gardens and eat their fruit.’ ”

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