New American Standard Bible 1995
26 “The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to be the [a](A)overseer in the house of the Lord over every (B)madman who (C)prophesies, to (D)put him in the stocks and in the iron collar, 27 now then, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of (E)Anathoth who prophesies to you? 28 For he has (F)sent to us in Babylon, saying, ‘The exile will be (G)long; (H)build houses and live in them and plant gardens and eat their [b]produce.’”’”

Jeremiah 29:26-28
New International Version
26 ‘The Lord has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada to be in charge of the house of the Lord; you should put any maniac(A) who acts like a prophet into the stocks(B) and neck-irons. 27 So why have you not reprimanded Jeremiah from Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you? 28 He has sent this message(C) to us in Babylon: It will be a long time.(D) Therefore build(E) houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.’”
