@ Now these are the
words
of the
letter
that
Jeremiah
the
prophet
sent
from
Jerusalem
unto the
residue
of the
elders
which were carried away
captives
, and to the
priests
, and to the
prophets
, and to all the
people
whom
Nebuchadnezzar
had carried away
captive
from

to
Babylon
;
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:2
@ (
After
that
Jeconiah
the
king
, and the
queen
, and the
eunuchs
, the
princes
of
Judah
and
Jerusalem
, and the
carpenters
, and the
smiths
, were
departed
from
Jerusalem
; )
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:3
@ By the
hand
of
Elasah
the
son
of
Shaphan
, and
Gemariah
the
son
of
Hilkiah
, (whom
Zedekiah
king
of
Judah
sent
unto
Babylon
to
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of
Babylon
)
saying
,
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:4
@ Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts
, the
God
of
Israel
, unto all that are carried away
captives
, whom I have caused to be carried
away
from
Jerusalem
unto
Babylon
;
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:5
@
Build
ye
houses
, and
dwell
in them; and
plant
gardens
, and
eat
the
fruit
of them;
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:6
@
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
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:7
@ And
seek
the
peace
of the
city
whither I have caused you to be carried away
captives
, and
pray
unto the
LORD
for it: for in the
peace
thereof shall ye have
peace
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:8
@ For thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts
, the
God
of
Israel
; Let not your
prophets
and your
diviners
, that be in the
midst
of you,
deceive
you, neither
hearken
to your
dreams
which ye cause to be
dreamed
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:9
@ For they
prophesy
falsely
unto you in my
name
: I have not
sent
them,
saith
the
LORD
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:10
@ For thus
saith
the
LORD
, That
after
seventy
years
be
accomplished
at
Babylon
I will
visit
you, and
perform
my
good
word
toward you, in causing you to
return
to this
place

strkjv@Jeremiah:29:11
@ 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

strkjv@Jeremiah:29:12
@ Then shall ye
call
upon me, and ye shall
go

pray
unto me, and I will
hearken
unto you.
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:13
@ And ye shall
seek
me, and
find
me, when ye shall
search
for me with all your
heart

strkjv@Jeremiah:29:14
@ And I will be
found
of you,
saith
the
LORD
: and I will turn
away
your
captivity
sh@
, 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

strkjv@Jeremiah:29:15

said

LORD
hath raised us
up
prophets
in
Babylon

saith
the
LORD
of the
king

sitteth
upon the
throne
of
David

people
that
dwelleth
in this
city
, and of your

forth
with you into
captivity

@ Thus
saith
the
LORD
of

; Behold, I will
send
upon them the
sword

famine

pestilence

make
them like
vile
figs

evil

them
with the
sword

famine

pestilence

deliver
them to be
removed
to all the
kingdoms
of the
earth

curse
, and an
astonishment
, and an
hissing
, and a
reproach
, among all the
nations
whither I have
driven
them:
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:19
@ 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

strkjv@Jeremiah:29:20
@
Hear
ye therefore the
word
of the
LORD
, all ye of the
captivity
, whom I have
sent
from
Jerusalem
to
Babylon
:
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:21
@ Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts
, the
God
of
Israel
, of
Ahab
the
son
of
Kolaiah
, and of
Zedekiah
the
son
of
Maaseiah
, which
prophesy
a
lie
unto you in my
name
; Behold, I will
deliver
them into the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon
; and he shall
slay
them before your
eyes
;
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:22
@ And of them shall be taken
up
a
curse
by all the
captivity
of
Judah
which are in
Babylon
,
saying
, The
LORD
make
thee like
Zedekiah
and like
Ahab
, whom the
king
of
Babylon
roasted
in the
fire
;
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:23
@ 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 am a
witness
,
saith
the
LORD
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:24
@ Thus shalt thou also
speak
to
Shemaiah
the
Nehelamite
,
saying
,
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:25
@ Thus
speaketh
the
LORD
of
hosts
, the
God
of
Israel
,
saying
, Because thou hast
sent
letters
in thy
name
unto all the
people
that are at
Jerusalem
, and to
Zephaniah
the
son
of
Maaseiah
the
priest
, and to all the
priests
,
saying
,
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:26
@ The
LORD
hath
made
thee
priest
in the stead of
Jehoiada
the
priest
, that ye should be
officers
in the
house
of the
LORD
, for every
man
that is
mad
, and maketh himself a
prophet
, that thou shouldest
put
him in
prison
, and in the
stocks
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:27
@ Now therefore why hast thou not
reproved
Jeremiah
of
Anathoth
, which maketh himself a
prophet
to you?
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:28
@ For therefore he
sent
unto us in
Babylon
,
saying
,
This
captivity is
long
:
build
ye
houses
, and
dwell
in them; and
plant
gardens
, and
eat
the
fruit
of them.
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:29
@ And
Zephaniah
the
priest
read
this
letter
in the
ears
of
Jeremiah
the
prophet

strkjv@Jeremiah:29:30
@ Then came the
word
of the
LORD
unto
Jeremiah
,
saying
,
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:31
@
Send
to all them of the
captivity
,
saying
, Thus
saith
the
LORD
concerning
Shemaiah
the
Nehelamite
; Because that
Shemaiah
hath
prophesied
unto you, and I
sent
him not, and he caused you to
trust
in a
lie
:
strkjv@Jeremiah:29:32
@ Therefore thus
saith
the
LORD
; Behold, I will
punish
Shemaiah
the
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
