Jeremiah 29:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ And now why hast thou not rebuked Jeremias the Anathothite, who prophesieth to you?

²⁸ For he hath also sent to us in Babylon, saying: It is a long time: build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant gardens, and eat the fruits of them.

²⁹ So Sophonias the priest read this letter, in the hearing of Jeremias the prophet.
