Jeremiah 29:24-29 - Shemaiah's Letter To Zephaniah The Priest

24 You shall also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, 25 So says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because you have sent letters in your name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying, 26 Jehovah has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to be officers in the house of Jehovah, over every madman who prophesies, that you should put him into the stocks and into the collar. 27 Now therefore why have you not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, who prophesies to you? 28 For this cause he sent to us in Babylon, saying, This exile is long. Build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their fruit.

29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
