Jeremiah 29:24-27

English Standard Version

Shemaiah's False Prophecy

²⁴ To ^(A)Shemaiah of Nehelam you shall say: ²⁵ “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You have sent letters in your name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to ^(B)Zephaniah the son of ^(C)Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying, ²⁶ ‘The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to have ^(D)charge in the house of the Lord ^(E)over every madman who prophesies, to put him in ^(F)the stocks and neck irons. ²⁷ Now why have you not rebuked Jeremiah ^(G)of Anathoth who is prophesying to you?
