Jeremiah 29:27-32 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
27
So why have you not reprimanded Jeremiah from Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you?
28
He has sent this message1 to us in Babylon: It will be a long time.2 Therefore build3 houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.' "
29
Zephaniah4 the priest, however, read the letter to Jeremiah the prophet.
30
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
31
"Send this message to all the exiles: 'This is what the LORD says about Shemaiah5 the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, even though I did not send6 him, and has led you to believe a lie,
32
this is what the LORD says: I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants.7 He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good8 things I will do for my people, declares the LORD, because he has preached rebellion9 against me.' "
