Jeremiah 29:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ The Lord hath made thee priest instead of Joiada the priest, that thou shouldst be ruler in the house of the Lord, over every man that raveth and prophesieth, to put him in the stocks, and into prison.

²⁷ And now why hast thou not rebuked Jeremias the Anathothite, who prophesieth to you?

²⁸ For he hath also sent to us in Babylon, saying: It is a long time: build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant gardens, and eat the fruits of them.
