that
are
at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
26
The L
ORD
hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in
the house of the L
ORD
, for every man
that is
mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest
put him in prison, and in the stocks.
27
Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of
Anathoth, which 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.
30
Then came the word of the L
ORD
unto Jeremiah, saying,
31
Send to all them of the captivity,
saying, Thus saith the L
ORD
concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath
prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
32
Therefore thus saith
the L
ORD
; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man
to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the
L
ORD
; because he hath taught rebellion against the L
ORD
.
CHAPTER 30
The word that came to Jeremiah from the L
ORD

ORD
God of Israel,
saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
3
For, lo, the days come,
saith the L
ORD
, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the L
ORD
:
and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4
And these
are
the words that the L
ORD
spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5
For
thus saith the L
ORD
; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
6
Ask ye now,
and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his
loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
7
Alas! for that day
is
great, so
that none
is
like it: it
is
even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
8
For it shall
come to pass in that day, saith the L
ORD
of hosts,
that
I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and
will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
9
But they shall serve
the L

their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10
Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the L
ORD
; neither be dismayed, O Israel:
for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall
return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make
him

11
For I

saith the L
ORD
, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee,
