Context

The Message to Shemaiah

²⁹(Zephaniah the priest, however, had read this letter to Jeremiah the prophet.)³⁰Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:³¹“Send a message telling all the exiles what the LORD says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite. Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you—though I did not send him—and has made you trust in a lie,

Summary

In this verse, Jeremiah is prophesying against Shemaiah, a false prophet who had written a letter to the exiles in Babylon, claiming to speak on behalf of the Lord. Jeremiah exposes Shemaiah's deceitful actions and false prophecies, warning that he will face judgment for his lies. This serves as a reminder to discern the authenticity of prophetic messages and to be cautious of those who claim to speak for God but do not align with His truth. Jeremiah's rebuke emphasizes the importance of testing the spirits and holding fast to genuine, God-inspired teachings.

This resumes the thread of the sentence which began at Jer 29:25, but was left there not completed. Here, in this thirtieth verse, it is completed, not however in continuity, but by a new period. The same construction occurs in Rom 5:12-15.
