Jeremiah 29:27-28

Shemaiah also reproved Zephaniah for not rebuking Jeremiah, because Jeremiah had written the exiles encouraging them to settle down in Babylon (Jeremiah 29:4-7).

This pericope does not record what the Lord said would happen to Shemaiah as punishment for what he did; Jeremiah 29:25 has no apodosis. We must assume that divine judgment would come on him. The main reason for this pericope is to expose the wicked advice Shemaiah was giving, not to explain the judgment he would receive. The next pericope tells what would happen to Shemaiah.
