Jeremiah 29:27-29

English Standard Version

²⁷ Now why have you not rebuked Jeremiah ^(A)of Anathoth who is prophesying to you? ²⁸ For he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, “Your exile will be long; ^(B)build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their produce.”’”

^29 (C)Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
