Jeremiah 29:27-29

21st Century King James Version

²⁷ Now therefore, why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, who maketh himself a prophet to you?

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

²⁹ And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
