Jeremiah 29:26-28

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁶ “The LORD has made you Priest instead of Jehoiada the Priest, so that there should be an officer in the House of the LORD for every man who raves and makes himself a prophet, to put him in prison and in the stocks.”

²⁷ ‘Now, therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who prophesies to you?

²⁸ ‘Because, for this reason he sent to us in Babel, saying, “This captivity is long. Build houses to dwell in, and plant gardens, and eat the fruits of them.”’”
