Jeremiah 29:27-29

1599 Geneva Bible

²⁷ Now therefore why hast not thou reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which prophesieth unto you?

²⁸ For, for this cause he sent unto us in Babel, saying, This captivity is long: build houses to dwell in, and plant gardens, and eat the fruits of them.

²⁹ And Zephaniah the Priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the Prophet.
