Jeremiah 29:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ And to Semeias the Nehelamite thou shalt say:

²⁵ Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Because thou hast sent letters in thy name to all the people that are in Jerusalem, and to Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest, and to all the priests, saying:

²⁶ The Lord hath made thee priest instead of Joiada the priest, that thou shouldst be ruler in the house of the Lord, over every man that raveth and prophesieth, to put him in the stocks, and into prison.
