Jeremiah 29:26-28

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁶ The LORD has made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should preside in the house of the LORD over every man that is furious and prophesies, putting him in the prison and in the stocks.

²⁷ Now therefore why hast thou not reprehended Jeremiah of Anathoth, for prophesying falsely unto you?

²⁸ For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build houses and dwell in them and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
