Jeremiah 29:27-29

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁷ That is your job, so I do not know why you have not punished Jeremiah, the man from Anathoth. He is there and he is prophesying to you. ²⁸ He has even sent a message to us here in Babylon. He told us that we will be here for a long time. He told us to build houses and make our homes here. He says that we should plant gardens to grow food for ourselves.” ’

²⁹ When Zephaniah the priest received Shemaiah's letter, he read it to the prophet Jeremiah.
