Jeremiah 29:27-29

Christian Standard Bible

²⁷ So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth who has been acting like a prophet among you?^{(A) 28} For he has sent word to us in Babylon, claiming, “The exile will be long. Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat their produce.”’” ^(B)

²⁹ The priest Zephaniah read this letter in the hearing of the prophet Jeremiah.
