29:8. For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Let not your
prophets that are in the midst of you, and your diviners deceive you:
and give no heed to your dreams which you dream:
29:9. For they prophesy falsely to you in my name: and I have not sent
them, saith the Lord.
29:10. For thus saith the Lord: When the seventy years shall begin to be
accomplished in Babylon, I will visit you: and I will perform my good
word in your favour, to bring you again to this place.
29:11. For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord,
thoughts of peace, and not of affliction, to give you an end and
patience.
29:12. And you shall call upon me, and you shall go and you shall pray
to me, and I will hear you.
29:13. You shall seek me, and shall find me: when you shall seek me with
all your heart.
29:14. And I will be found by you, saith the Lord: and I will bring back
your captivity, and I will gather you out of all nations, and from all
the places to which I have driven you out, saith the Lord: and I will
bring you back from the place to which I caused you to be carried away
captive.
29:15. Because you have said: The Lord hath raised us up prophets in
Babylon:
29:16. For thus saith the Lord to the king that sitteth upon the throne
of David, and to all the people that dwell in this city, to your
brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity.
29:17. Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will send upon them the
sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and I will make them like bad
figs that cannot be eaten, because they are very bad.
29:18. And I will persecute them with the sword, and with famine, and
with the pestilence: and I will give them up unto affliction to all the
kingdoms of the earth: to be a curse, and an astonishment, and a
hissing, and a reproach to all the nations to which I have driven them
out:
29:19. Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord:
which I sent to them by my servants the prophets, rising by night, and
sending: and you have not heard, saith the Lord.
29:20. Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord, all ye of the captivity,
whom I have sent out from Jerusalem to Babylon.
29:21. Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to Achab the son
of Colias, and to Sedecias the son of Maasias, who prophesy unto you in
my name falsely: Behold I will deliver them up into the hands of
Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon: and he shall kill them before your
eyes.
29:22. And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of
Juda, that are in Babylon, saying: The Lord make thee like Sedecias, and
like Achab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire:
29:23. Because they have acted folly in Israel, and have committed
adultery with the wives of their friends, and have spoken lying words in
my name, which I commanded them not: I am the judge and the witness,
saith the Lord.
29:24. And to Semeias the Nehelamite thou shalt say:
29:25. Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Because thou hast
sent letters in thy name to all the people that are in Jerusalem, and to
Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest, and to all the priests, saying:
29:26. 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.
29:27. And now why hast thou not rebuked Jeremias the Anathothite, who
prophesieth to you?
29:28. 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.
