Jeremiah 29:25-27

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁵ ‘This is a word from Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Isra’el, because of the letters you sent in your own name to all the people in Yerushalayim, including Tz’fanyah the son of Ma‘aseiyah the cohen and all the cohanim. ²⁶ Your letter said, “Adonai has made you cohen in place of Y’hoyada the cohen, in order to have officials in Adonai’s house who will arrest any crazy person who makes himself out to be a prophet, so that you can restrain him in stocks and collar. ²⁷ So why haven’t you rebuked Yirmeyahu of ‘Anatot, who makes himself out to be a prophet for you?
