1 Now these arethe words of the letter that Jeremiahthe prophet sent from Jerusalemunto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzarhad carried away captive from Jerusalemto Babylon; 2 (After that Jeconiahthe king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)29.2 eunuchs: or, chamberlains3 By the hand of Elasahthe son of Shaphan, and Gemariahthe son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiahking of Judah sent unto Babylonto Nebuchadnezzarking of Babylon) saying, 4 Thus saith the LORDof hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalemunto Babylon; 5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them;and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; 6 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished. 7 And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORDfor it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
8 For thus saith the LORDof hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that bein the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. 9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.29.9 falsely: Heb. in a lie
10 For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at BabylonI will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.29.11 expected…: Heb. end and expectation12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
15 Because ye have said, The LORDhath raised us up prophets in Babylon; 16 Knowthat thus saith the LORDof the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, andof your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity; 17 Thus saith the LORDof hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. 18 And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:29.18 to be a curse: Heb. for a curse19 Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them;but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
20 Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalemto Babylon: 21 Thus saith the LORDof hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahabthe son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiahthe son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzarking of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes; 22 And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which arein Babylon, saying, The LORDmake thee like Zedekiahand like Ahab, whom the king of Babylonroasted in the fire; 23 Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours’ wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and ama witness, saith the LORD.
24 Thusshalt thou also speak to Shemaiahthe Nehelamite, saying,29.24 Nehelamite: or, dreamer25 Thus speaketh the LORDof hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that areat Jerusalem, and to Zephaniahthe son of Maaseiahthe priest, and to all the priests, saying, 26 The LORDhath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiadathe priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that ismad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks. 27 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiahof Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you? 28 For therefore he sent unto us inBabylon, saying, This captivity islong: build ye houses, and dwell in them;and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 29 And Zephaniahthe priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiahthe prophet.
30 Then came the word of the LORDunto Jeremiah, saying, 31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORDconcerning Shemaiahthe Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiahhath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie: 32 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiahthe 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 LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.29.32 rebellion: Heb. revolt
