Jeremiah 29:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 ¶ Thou shalt also speak to Shemaiah the [a]Nehelamite, saying,
25 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people, that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the Priest, and to all the Priests, saying,
26 The Lord hath made thee Priest, for [b]Jehoiada the Priest, that ye should be officers in the House of the Lord, for every man that raveth and maketh himself a Prophet, to put him in prison and in the stocks.
