25 H559 Thus speaks H3068 the Lord H6635 of hosts, H430 the God H3478 of Israel, H559 saying, H7971 Because you have sent H5612 letters H8034 in your name H5971 unto all the people H3389 that are at Jerusalem, H6846 and to Zephaniah H1121 the son H4641 of Maaseiah H3548 the priest, H3548 and to all the priests, H559 saying,

26 H3068 The Lord H5414 has made H3548 you priest H3077 in the place of Jehoiada H3548 the priest, H6496 that you should be officers H1004 in the house H3068 of the Lord, H376 for every man H7696 that is mad, H5012 and makes himself a prophet, H5414 that you should put H4115 him in prison, H6729 and in the stocks.

27 H1605 Now therefore, why have you not reproved H3414 Jeremiah H6069 of Anathoth, H5012 which makes himself a prophet to you?

28 H7971 For therefore he sent H894 unto us in Babylon, H559 saying, H1931 This H752 captivity is long: H1129 build H1004 houses, H3427 and live H5193 in them; and plant H1593 gardens, H398 and eat H6529 the fruit of them.

29 H6846 And Zephaniah H3548 the priest H7121 read H5612 this letter H241 in the ears H3414 of Jeremiah H5030 the prophet.

30 H1697 Then came the word H3068 of the Lord H3414 unto Jeremiah, H559 saying,

31 H7971 Send H1473 to all them of the captivity, H559 saying, H559 Thus says H3068 the Lord H8098 concerning Shemaiah H5161 the Nehelamite; H8098 Because that Shemaiah H5012 has prophesied H7971 unto you, and I sent H982 him not, and he caused you to trust H8267 in a lie:

32 H559 Therefore thus says H3068 the Lord; H6485 Behold, I will punish H8098 Shemaiah H5161 the Nehelamite, H2233 and his seed: H376 he shall not have a man H3427 to live H8432 among H5971 this people; H7200 neither shall he behold H2896 the good H6213 that I will do H5971 for my people, H5002 says H3068 the Lord; H1696 because he has taught H5627 rebellion H3068 against the Lord.
