Jeremiah 29:26-28

The Voice

²⁶ ‘The Eternal has appointed you as the priest in charge of the temple to replace Jehoiada. When a madman tries to speak like a prophet, you must take action by putting him in shackles and in the stocks.^{[a] 27} So why haven’t you put a stop to Jeremiah of Anathoth who poses among you as a prophet of God? ²⁸ He sent a letter to those of us in Babylon predicting that our exile will be a long one. He actually said we should settle in this place—building homes and planting gardens of food that we can enjoy for many years.’”
