1 Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremiahthe prophet sent from Jerusalemto the rest of the elders of the exile, the priests, the prophets, and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzarhad taken into exile from Jerusalemto Babylon. 2 (This was after King Jeconiahand the queen mother, the high officials, the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metalworkers had departed from Jerusalem.) 3 The letter was sent by the hand of Elasahthe son of Shaphanand Gemariahthe son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiahking of Judah sent to Babylonto Nebuchadnezzarking of Babylon, saying, 4 "This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalemto Babylon: 5 ‘Build houses and live in them; and plant gardens and eat their 29:5 Lit fruitproduce. 6 Take wives and father sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may give birth to sons and daughters; and grow in numbers there and do not decrease. 7 Seek the 29:7 Or peaceprosperity of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord in its behalf; for 29:7 Or your prosperity will depend on itsin its 29:7 Or peaceprosperity will be your 29:7 Or peaceprosperity.’ 8 For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Do not let your prophets who are in your midst or your diviners deceive you, and do not listen to their interpretations of your dreams which you dream. 9 For they prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them,’ declares the Lord.
10 "For this is what the Lord says: ‘When seventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My good word to you, to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans that I 29:11 Lit am planninghave for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for 29:11 Or salvationprosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will let Myself be found by you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’
15 "Because you have said, ‘The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon’— 16 for this is what the Lord says concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who live in this city, your brothers who did not go with you into exile— 17 this is what the Lord of armies says: ‘Behold, I am sending upon them the sword, famine, and plague; and I will make them like rotten figs that cannot be eaten due to rottenness. 18 I will pursue them with the sword, with famine, and with plague; and I will make them an object of terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse and an object of horror and 29:18 Or whistlinghissing, and a disgrace among all the nations where I have driven them, 19 because they have not listened to My words,’ declares the Lord, ‘which I sent to them again and again by My servants the prophets; but you did not listen,’ declares the Lord. 20 ‘You, therefore, hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles, whom I have sent away from Jerusalemto Babylon.
21 ‘This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says concerning Ahabthe son of Kolaiahand concerning Zedekiahthe son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you falsely in My name: "Behold, I am going to hand them over to Nebuchadnezzarking of Babylon, and he will kill them before your eyes. 22 Because of them a curse will be 29:22 Lit takenused by all the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon, saying, ‘May the Lord make you like Zedekiahand Ahab, whom the king of Babylonroasted in the fire,’ 23 because they acted 29:23 Or sacrilegiouslyfoolishly in Israel, and committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and falsely spoke words in My name which I did not command them. I am He who knows, and a witness," declares the Lord.’ "
24 Now you shall speak to Shemaiahthe Nehelamite, saying, 25 "This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to the priest Zephaniahthe son of Maaseiah, and to all the priests, saying, 26 "The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiadathe priest, to be the 29:26 Lit overseersoverseer of the house of the Lord for every insane person who prophesies, to put him in the stocks and in the iron collar. 27 So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiahof Anathothwho prophesies to you, 28 seeing that he has sent word to us in Babylon, saying, ‘29:28 Lit ItThe exile will be long; build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their 29:28 Lit fruitproduce’ ?" ’ "
29 Now Zephaniahthe priest read this letter 29:29 Lit in the ears ofto Jeremiahthe prophet. 30 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, 31 "Send word to all the exiles, saying, ‘This is what the Lord says concerning Shemaiahthe Nehelamite: "Because Shemaiahhas prophesied to you, although I did not send him, and he has made you trust in a lie," 32 therefore this is what the Lord says: "Behold, I am going to punish Shemaiahthe Nehelamiteand his 29:32 Lit seeddescendants; he will not have anyone living among this people, and he will not see the good that I am going to do for My people," declares the Lord, "because he has spoken falsely against the Lord." ’ "
