Jeremiah 29:24-28

24Thus shalt thou also speakH559 to ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161, sayingH559,1 25Thus speakethH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Because thou hast sentH7971 lettersH5612 in thy nameH8034 unto all the peopleH5971 that are at JerusalemH3389, and to ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641 the priestH3548, and to all the priestsH3548, sayingH559, 26YhwhH3068 hath madeH5414 thee priestH3548 in the stead of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, that ye should be officersH6496 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, for every manH376 that is madH7696, and maketh himself a prophetH5012, that thou shouldest putH5414 him in prisonH4115, and in the stocksH6729. 27Now therefore why hast thou not reprovedH1605 JeremiahH3414 of AnathothH6069, which maketh himself a prophetH5012 to you? 28For therefore he sentH7971 unto us in BabylonH894, sayingH559, ThisH1931 captivity is longH752: buildH1129 ye housesH1004, and dwellH3427 in them; and plantH5193 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
