Jeremiah 29:24-28

Jeremiah’s letter to Shemaiah in Babylon 29:24-28

Jeremiah wrote another letter, this time in response to a letter that the false prophet Shemaiah in Babylon wrote to Zephaniah the priest and the Judahites still in Jerusalem. Jeremiah quoted Shemaiah’s letter, and it fills most of this section (Jeremiah 29:26-28). Shemaiah’s letter was a response to Jeremiah’s first letter to the exiles (Jeremiah 29:1-23).
