Jeremiah 29:27-32

Now Jeremiah from Anathoth is acting like a prophet. So why haven’t you arrested him? Jeremiah has sent this message to us in Babylon: You will be there for a long time, so build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat what they grow.’ ” Zephaniah the priest read the letter to Jeremiah the prophet. Then the LORD spoke his word to Jeremiah: “Send this message to all the captives in Babylon: ‘This is what the LORD says about Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Shemaiah has prophesied to you, but I did not send him. He has made you believe a lie. So the LORD says, I will soon punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his family. He will not see the good things I will do for my people, says the LORD. None of his family will be left alive among the people, because he has taught the people to turn against me.’ ”
