*
Also unto Shemaiah the Nehelamite ,
shalt thou speak ,
saying :
*
Thus ,
speaketh Yahweh of hosts ,
God of Israel ,
saying ,
Because ,
thou ,
hast sent in ,
thine own name ,
letters ,
unto all the people who are in Jerusalem ,
and unto Zephaniah son ,
of Maaseiah the priest ,
and unto all the priests saying :
*
Yahweh ,
hath made thee priest instead of Jehoiada the priest ,
that ye should be deputies in the house of Yahweh ,
to any man who is raving and prophesying ,
so shalt thou put him into the stocks and into the pillory :
*
Now ,
therefore ,
why ,
hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth ,
who is prophesying unto you ?
*
For ,
on this account ,
hath he sent unto us in Babylon ,
saying ,
Tis ,
long !
Build ye houses and dwell in them ,
And plant gardens and eat the fruit thereof .
*
And Zephaniah the priest hath read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet ,
*
Therefore hath the word of Yahweh come unto Jeremiah ,
saying :
*
Send thou unto all them of the captivity ,
saying ,
Thus ,
saith Yahweh ,
Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite ,
Because Shemaiah ,
hath prophesied to you ,
when ,
I ,
had not sent him ,
And hath caused you to trust in falsehood ,
*
Therefore Thus ,
saith Yahweh ,
Behold me !
bringing punishment upon Shemaiah the Nehelamite ,
and upon his seed ,
he shall have no man to dwell in the midst of rids people ,
Nor shall he see the good that I am about to do for my people ,
Declareth Yahweh ;
Because revolt ,
hath he spoken against Yahweh .
