Jeremiah 29:27-29

Revised Geneva Translation

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.”’”

²⁹ And Zephaniah the Priest read this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the Prophet.
