Jeremiah 29:24-26

Modern English Version

A Message to Shemaiah

²⁴ Thus you shall also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying: ²⁵ Thus 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, ²⁶ The 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.
