Jeremiah 29:24-28

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?
