Jeremiah 29:29 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 29:29

And Zephaniah the priest read this letter
Of Shemaiah's to him, and the other priests: in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet:
whether out of good will, to let him know who were his enemies abroad; or out of ill will, to stir up the people against him; or in pretence of proceeding equitably with him; not taking him up, and punishing him before he brought the accusation and charge against him; and acquainted him who were his accusers, and what evidence there was, and heard what he had to say in his own defence whether one or the other is uncertain; however, by this means Jeremiah came to the knowledge of Shemaiah's letter.

27 et nunc quare non increpasti Hieremiam Anathothiten qui prophetat vobis

28 quia super hoc misit ad nos in Babylonem dicens longum est aedificate domos et habitate et plantate hortos et comedite fructum eorum

29 legit ergo Sophonias sacerdos librum istum in auribus Hieremiae prophetae

30 et factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam dicens

31 mitte ad omnem transmigrationem dicens haec dicit Dominus ad Semeiam Neelamiten pro eo quod prophetavit vobis Semeias et ego non misi eum et fecit vos confidere in mendacio
