Verse 31
Send to all them of the captivity ,.... Another letter; not to Shemaiah, but to the people, that they might all know that he was a false prophet; and how his lies were resented by the Lord; and what punishment should be inflicted on him and his, on account of them:
saying, thus saith the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite ; the letter, though written by the prophet, must be sent in the name of the Lord, declaring what he would do with the person mentioned, and the reason of it; which follows:
because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not ,
and he caused you to trust in a lie ; that they should in a very little time return from their captivity to Jerusalem.
