Jeremiah 29:27

The Message to Shemaiah

26‘The LORD has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada, to be the chief officer in the house of the LORD, responsible for any madman who acts like a prophet—you must put him in stocks and neck irons.27So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you?28For he has sent to us in Babylon, claiming: Since the exile will be lengthy, build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat their produce.’”
