1This is the text of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the remaining exiled elders, the priests, the prophets, and all the people Nebuchadnezzar had deported from Jerusalem to Babylon.[#29:1 2Sm 11:14–15; 1Kg 21:8–11; #29:1 2Kg 24:11; 25:22; 2Ch 36:6–13]

29The priest Zephaniah read this letter in the hearing of the prophet Jeremiah.
30Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:
31‘Send a message to all the exiles, saying, “This is what the Lord says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite. Because Shemaiah prophesied to you, though I did not send him, and made you trust a lie,[#29:31 Jr 27:10,14–16; 28:15; 29:9,21,23]
32this is what the Lord says: I am about to punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. There will not be even one of his descendants living among these people, nor will any ever see the good that I will bring to my people #– #this is the Lord ’s declaration #– #for he has preached rebellion against the Lord .” ’[#29:32 Jr 17:6; #29:32 Jr 28:16]
