Jeremiah 29:26-28
Lexham English Bible
26 “Yahweh made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, so that there are overseers in the house of Yahweh over any mad man who exhibits the behavior of a prophet, and you must put him into the stocks and into the neck iron, 27 and so then why have you not rebuked Jeremiah the Anathothite who exhibits the behavior of a prophet for you? 28 Because[a] he has sent to us in Babylon, saying,[b] ‘It will be a long time, build houses and live in them,[c] and plant gardens and eat their fruit.’”’”
