1Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the rest of the elders of the captivity, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon.
2(This was after Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, and the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem.)[#2Ki 24:12–16; Jer 22:24–28]
3It was sent by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah (whom Zedekiah, king of Judah, sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), saying:
24Thus you shall also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying:[#Jer 29:31–32]
25Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have sent letters in your name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,[#Jer 29:29; 37:3]
26The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, that you should be officers in the house of the Lord , for every man that is mad and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in prison.[#2Ki 9:11; Hos 9:7; #Jer 20:1–2]
27Now therefore why have you not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth who prophesies to you?
28For he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, “This captivity will be long; build houses and dwell in them, and plant gardens and eat their fruit.”[#Jer 29:5]
29Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
30Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
31Send to all the captives, saying, Thus says the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you though I did not send, and he caused you to trust in a lie,[#Jer 14:14–15; 29:9]
32therefore thus says the Lord : Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his seed. He will not have a man to dwell among this people, nor will he see the good that I will do for My people, says the Lord , because he has taught rebellion against the Lord .[#Jer 28:16]
