Jeremiah 29:24-29 - Shemaiah's Letter To Zephaniah The Priest
24 Jehovah says: Say to Shemaiah from Nehelam, 25 This is what Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: You sent letters in your own name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah, son of Maaseiah, and to all the priests. These letters said: 26 Jehovah made you priest instead of Jehoiada so that there would be officials for Jehovah's temple. You should put every madman who acts like a prophet in prison and in shackles. 27 Why have you not arrested Jeremiah from Anathoth? After all, he acts like a prophet among you. 28 That is why Jeremiah sent this message to us in Babylon: You will be captives a long time. Build houses, and live in them. Plant gardens, and eat what they produce,--''
29 The priest Zephaniah read this letter to the prophet Jeremiah.
