Jeremiah 29:26-28

Common English Bible

²⁶ You said to Zephaniah:^[a] The Lord has appointed you priest in charge of the Lord’s temple instead of Jehoiada. You are responsible for putting every madman who prophesies into stocks and neck irons. ²⁷ So why haven’t you threatened Jeremiah of Anathoth, who pretends to be a prophet among you? ²⁸ He has sent a letter telling those of us in Babylon: “You are going to be there a long time, so build houses and settle down, plant gardens and eat what they produce.”
