Jeremiah 29:27-32
-
27 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?
-
28 For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
-
29 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
-
30 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
-
31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
-
32 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.
