Jeremiah 29:26-28

International Standard Version

²⁶ The Lord made you a priest instead of Jehoiada the priest to serve in the Lord’s Temple as an official against every crazy prophet, and to put him in stocks and restraints. ²⁷ And now, why didn’t you rebuke Jeremiah from Anathoth who prophesies to you? ²⁸ So he sent a message^[a] to us in Babylon: ‘The exile^[b] will be long, so build houses and live in them.^[c] Plant gardens and eat their produce.’”’”
