21ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, concerning AhabH256 the sonH1121 of KolaiahH6964, and concerning ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641, whichH5869 prophesyH5012 a lieH8267 unto youH5414 in my nameH8034: BeholdH2005, I will deliverH5414 them intoH413 the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and he shall slayH5221 them beforeH5869 your eyesH5869; 22and of them shall be takenH3947 upH7760 a curseH7045 by allH3605 the captivesH1546 of JudahH3063 whichH834 are in BabylonH894, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 makeH7760 thee like ZedekiahH6667 and like AhabH256, whomH834 the kingH4428 BabylonH894 roastedH7033 in the fireH784: 23becauseH3282 they have wrought follyH5039 in IsraelH3478, and have committedH6213 adulteryH5003 with their neighbours’ wivesH802, and have spokenH1696 wordsH1697 in my nameH8034 falselyH8267, whichH834 I commandedH6680 them notH3808; and I am he that knoweth, and am witnessH5707, saith the LORDH3068. 24And concerning ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161 thou shalt speakH559, sayingH559, 25ThusH3541 speaketh the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, BecauseH3282 thou hast sentH7971 lettersH5612 in thine own nameH8034 unto allH3605 the peopleH5971 that are at JerusalemH3389, and to ZephaniahH6846 the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4641 the priestH3548, and to allH3605 the priestsH3548, sayingH559, 26The LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 thee priestH3548 in the steadH8478 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, that ye should be officersH6496 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, for everyH3605 manH376 that is madH7696, and maketh himselfH413 a prophetH376, that thou shouldest putH5414 him in the stocksH4115 and in shackles. 27NowH6258 therefore, whyH4100 hast thou notH3808 rebukedH1605 JeremiahH3414 of AnathothH6069, whichH4100 maketh himselfH3808 a prophet to youH3808, 28forasmuch as he hath sentH7971 unto usH413 in BabylonH894, sayingH559, The captivity is longH752: buildH1129 ye housesH1004, and dwellH3427 in them; and plantH5193 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them? 29And ZephaniahH6846 the priestH3548 readH7121 this letterH5612 in the earsH241 of JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030. 30Then cameH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 31SendH7971 to allH3605 them of the captivity, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 concerning ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161: BecauseH5921 that ShemaiahH8098 hath prophesiedH5012 unto youH834, and I sentH7971 him notH3808, and he hath causedH834 youH834 to trustH982 in a lieH8267; 32therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, BeholdH2005, I will punishH6485 ShemaiahH8098 the NehelamiteH5161, and his seedH2233; he shall notH3808 have a manH376 to dwellH3427 among this peopleH5971, neitherH3808 shall he beholdH2005 the goodH2896 that I will doH6213 unto my peopleH5971, saith the LORDH3068: becauseH3588 he hath spokenH1696 rebellionH5627 againstH5921 the LORDH3068.
