32;
32 this is what the Lord
says: I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He will
have no one left among this people, nor
will he see the good things I will do for My people, declares the Lord, because he has preached rebellion against Me.’”
(5)
258
26 ‘The
Lord has appointed you
priest in place of Jehoiada to be in charge of the house of the Lord; you
should put any maniac who acts like a prophet into the stocks and neck-irons. (8)
27 So why have you not
reprimanded Jeremiah from Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you?
369
17 yes,
this is what the Lord
Almighty says: “I will send the sword, famine and plague against them and I
will make them like figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten. (8)
18 I will pursue them with the
sword, famine and plague and will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of
the earth, a curse and an object of horror, of scorn and reproach,
among all the nations where I drive them.
369
8 Yes,
this is what the Lord
Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets and diviners among
you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. (8)
9 They are prophesying lies to
you in My name. I have not sent them,” declares the Lord.
369
30 Then
the word of the Lord
came to Jeremiah:
(3)
31 “Send this message to
all the exiles: ‘This is what the Lord says about Shemaiah
the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, even though I did not
send him, and has
persuaded you to trust in lies,
147
21 This
is what the Lord Almighty, the God
of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are
prophesying lies to you in my name: “I will deliver them into the hands of
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your very
eyes.
(3)
22 Because of them, all
the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the Lord
treat you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon burned in the fire.’
23 For they have done
outrageous things in Israel; they have committed adultery with their neighbors’
wives, and in My name they
have uttered lies—which I did not authorize. I know it and Am a witness to it,”
declares the Lord.
Message to Shemaiah
24 Tell Shemaiah the
Nehelamite,
25 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You sent letters in your own
name to all the people in Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah,
and to all the other priests. You said to Zephaniah,
147
12 Then you will call on Me and
come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. (3)
13 You will seek Me and find Me when
you seek Me with all your heart.
14 I will be found by
you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from
captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have
banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which
I carried you into exile.”
15 You may say, “The Lord
has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,”
16 but this is what
the Lord says about the king who sits
on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your fellow
citizens who did not go with you into exile—
147
3 He
entrusted the letter to Elasah son of Shaphan and to Gemariah son of Hilkiah,
whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It said: (3)
4 This is what the Lord
Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from
Jerusalem to Babylon:
5 “Build houses and
settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.
6 Marry and have sons
and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so
that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not
decrease.
7 Also, seek the peace and
prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord
for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
147
28 He
has sent this message to us in Babylon: It will be a long time. Therefore build
houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.’” (1)
29 Zephaniah the
priest, however, read the letter to Jeremiah the prophet.
258
19 For
they have not listened to my words,” declares the Lord, “words that I sent to them again and again by my servants the
prophets. And you exiles have not listened either,” declares the Lord. (1)
20 Therefore, hear the Word of the
Lord, all you exiles whom I have sent away from
Jerusalem to Babylon.
258
10 This
is what the Lord says: “When
seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good
promise to bring you back to this place.
(1)
11 For I know the plans I have for
you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not
to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
258
A Letter to the
Exiles
29 This is the text of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent
from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the
prophets and all the other people Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from
Jerusalem to Babylon.
(1)
2 (This was after
King Jehoiachin and the queen mother, the court officials and the
leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the skilled workers and the artisans had gone
into exile from Jerusalem.)
