Jeremiah 29:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ So why haven’t you punished Jeremiah from Anathoth? He claims to be a prophet among you. ²⁸ He has sent a message to us in Babylon. It says, ‘You will be there a long time. So build houses and make your homes there. Plant gardens and eat what they produce.’ ” ’ ”

²⁹ But Zephaniah the priest read the letter to me.
