Jeremiah 29:24-26

International Standard Version

A Rebuke to Shemaiah

²⁴ “You are to say to Shemaiah of Nehelam: ²⁵ ‘This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Because you sent letters in your own name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, to Maaseiah’s son Zephaniah the priest and to all the priests— ²⁶ The Lord made you a priest instead of Jehoiada the priest to serve in the Lord’s Temple as an official against every crazy prophet, and to put him in stocks and restraints.
