26. “Yahweh has made you priest in the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in Yahweh’s house, for every man who is mad, and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles.
27. Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you,
28. because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long: build houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat their fruit?”’”
29. Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
