Jeremiah 29:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ Prophecy of Shemaiah. Address these words to Shemaiah the Nehelamite. ²⁵ “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Acting on your own authority, you have sent a letter to all the people in Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, and to all the other priests ²⁶ asserting that the Lord has appointed you as priest in place of Jehoiada, and that you are to appoint officers to be in charge of the Lord’s house and place any madman into the stocks or the pillory who poses as a prophet.
