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 Jerusalem to Babylon; Act 15:23Est 9:20Heb 13:22Jer 29:25-29Rev 2:1-32Ch 30:1-62Co 7:8Jer 24:1-7 (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;) 1 Jer 22:24-282Ch 36:9-102Ki 24:12-16Jer 27:202Ki 20:182Ki 9:32Dan 1:3-21Jer 24:1 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, 1Ch 6:132Ch 34:202Ki 22:122Ki 22:8Ezk 8:11Jer 26:24Jer 36:25Jer 39:14 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; Jer 24:5Amo 3:6Isa 10:5-6Isa 45:7Isa 59:1-2Isa 5:5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; Jer 29:28Jer 29:10Ezk 28:26 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.

¶ 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. Eph 5:62Th 2:9-11Jer 5:312Pe 2:2-32Ti 3:13Jer 14:14Jer 27:14-15Jer 27:9 For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD. 2 Jer 27:15Jer 29:31Jer 29:23

¶ Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon; Ezk 1:1Ezk 1:3Jer 28:1-17Jer 29:8-9 Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity; Jer 38:17-23Jer 38:2-3Ezk 17:12-21Ezk 21:9-27Ezk 22:31Ezk 24:1-14Ezk 6:1-9Jer 24:2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

Jer 6:19Jer 26:5Heb 12:25Jer 25:3-7Jer 34:17Jer 35:14-16Jer 7:13Jer 7:24-26
¶ Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon: Jer 24:5Mic 4:10Ezk 3:11Ezk 3:15 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; Jer 14:14-15Jer 29:8-9Lam 2:14 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; Dan 3:6Isa 65:15Dan 3:21Gen 48:201Co 16:22Rut 4:11 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. Heb 4:13Jer 23:14Mal 3:5Jer 16:17Jer 29:21Jer 29:8-9Pro 5:212Pe 2:10-19
¶ Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, 5 Jer 29:31-32 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, Jer 29:29Jer 37:3Jer 52:241Ki 21:8-132Ch 32:172Ki 10:1-72Ki 19:142Ki 19:9 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. Jer 20:1-22Ki 9:11Act 26:24Hos 9:7Jhn 10:20Act 16:24Deu 13:1-5Mrk 3:21 Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you? 2Ch 25:162Ti 3:8Act 4:17-21Act 5:28Act 5:40Amo 7:12-13Jer 1:1Jer 29:26 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. Jer 29:5Jer 29:1Jer 29:10 And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet. Jer 29:25
¶ Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, 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: Jer 29:9Ezk 13:22-23Ezk 13:8-16Jer 14:14-15Jer 29:23-242Pe 2:1Jer 23:21Jer 28:15-17 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. 6 Jer 28:162Ki 7:19-20Jer 17:61Sa 2:30-342Ki 7:2Jer 22:302Ki 5:27Amo 7:17
