29:1 Now
these
are
the
words
of
the
letter,
that
Ieremiah
the
prophet
sent
from
Ierusalem
vnto
the
residue
of
the
elders
which
were
caried
away
captiues,
and
to
the
priests,
and
to
the
prophets,
and
to
all
the
people
whom
Nebuchad-nezzar
had
caried
away
captiue
from
Ierusalem
to
Babylon,
29:2 (After
that
Ieconiah
the
king,
and
the
queene,
and
the
eunuches,
the
princes
of
Iudah
and
Ierusalem,
and
the
carpenters
and
the
smithes
were
departed
from
Ierusalem)
29:3 By
the
hand
of
Elasah
the
sonne
of
Shaphan,
and
Gemariah
the
sonne
of
Hilkiah,
whome
Zedekiah
king
of
Iudah
sent
vnto
Babylon
to
Nebuchad-nezzar
king
of
Babylon,
saying,
29:4 Thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts
the
God
of
Israel
vnto
all
that
are
caried
away
captiues,
whom
I
haue
caused
to
be
caried
away
from
Ierusalem
vnto
Babylon:
29:5 Build
ye
houses
and
dwell
in
them,
and
plant
gardens,
and
eate
the
fruit
of
them.
29:6 Take
ye
wiues,
and
beget
sonnes
and
daughters,
and
take
wiues
for
your
sonnes,
and
giue
your
daughters
to
husbands,
that
they
may
beare
sonnes
and
daughters,
that
ye
may
bee
increased
there,
and
not
diminished.
29:7 And
seeke
the
peace
of
the
citie,
whither
I
haue
caused
you
to
be
caried
away
captiues,
&
pray
vnto
the
Lord
for
it:
for
in
the
peace
thereof
shall
yee
haue
peace.
29:8 For
thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
the
God
of
Israel,
Let
not
your
prophets
and
your
diuiners,
that
bee
in
the
midst
of
you,
deceiue
you,
neither
hearken
to
your
dreames
which
yee
cause
to
be
dreamed.
29:9 For
they
prophecie
falsly
vnto
you
in
my
name:
I
haue
not
sent
them,
saith
the
Lord.
29:10 For
thus
saith
the
Lord,
That
after
seuentie
yeeres
be
accomplished
at
Babylon,
I
will
visite
you,
and
performe
my
good
word
towards
you,
in
causing
you
to
returne
to
this
place.
29:11 For
I
knowe
the
thoughts
that
I
thinke
towards
you,
saith
the
Lord,
thoughts
of
peace,
and
not
of
euill,
to
giue
you
an
expected
end.
29:12 Then
shall
ye
call
vpon
me,
and
ye
shall
goe
and
pray
vnto
mee,
and
I
will
hearken
vnto
you.
29:13 And
ye
shall
seeke
me,
and
finde
me,
when
ye
shall
search
for
me
with
all
your
heart.
29:14 And
I
will
be
found
of
you,
saith
the
Lord,
and
I
will
turne
away
your
captiuitie,
and
I
will
gather
you
from
all
the
nations,
and
from
all
the
places
whither
I
haue
driuen
you,
saith
the
Lord,
and
I
will
bring
you
againe
into
the
place
whence
I
caused
you
to
be
caried
away
captiue.
29:15 Because
yee
haue
said,
The
Lord
hath
raised
vs
vp
prophets
in
Babylon:
29:16 Know
that
thus
saith
the
Lord,
of
the
king
that
sitteth
vpon
the
throne
of
Dauid,
and
of
all
the
people
that
dwelleth
in
this
citie,
and
of
your
brethren
that
are
not
gone
foorth
with
you
into
captiuitie.
29:17 Thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
Beholde,
I
will
send
vpon
them
the
sword,
the
famine,
and
the
pestilence,
and
will
make
them
like
vile
figges,
that
cannot
be
eaten,
they
are
so
euill.
29:18 And
I
will
persecute
them
with
the
sword,
with
the
famine,
and
with
the
pestilence,
and
will
deliuer
them
to
be
remooued
to
all
the
kingdomes
of
the
earth,
to
be
a
curse
and
an
astonishment,
and
an
hissing,
and
a
reproch
among
all
the
nations,
whither
I
haue
driuen
them.
29:19 Because
they
haue
not
hearkened
to
my
words,
saith
the
Lord,
which
I
sent
vnto
them
by
my
seruants
the
Prophets,
rising
vp
early,
and
sending
them,
but
ye
would
not
heare,
saith
the
Lord.
29:20 Heare
yee
therefore
the
word
of
the
Lord,
all
ye
of
the
captiuitie,
whom
I
haue
sent
from
Ierusalem
to
Babylon.
29:21 Thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts
the
God
of
Israel,
of
Ahab
the
sonne
of
Kolaiah,
and
of
Zedekiah
the
sonne
of
Maaseiah,
which
prophecie
a
lye
vnto
you
in
my
Name,
Behold,
I
will
deliuer
them
into
the
hand
of
Nebuchadrezzar
king
of
Babylon,
and
hee
shall
slay
them
before
your
eyes.
29:22 And
of
them
shall
bee
taken
vp
a
eurse
by
all
the
captiuitie
of
Iudah
which
are
in
Babylon,
saying,
The
Lord
make
thee
like
Zedekiah,
and
like
Ahab,
whom
the
king
of
Babylon
rosted
in
the
fire.
29:23 Because
they
haue
committed
villanie
in
Israel,
and
haue
committed
adulterie
with
their
neighbors
wiues,
and
haue
spoken
lying
wordes
in
my
Name,
which
I
haue
not
commanded
them,
euen
I
know,
and
am
a
witnesse,
saith
the
Lord.
29:24 Thus
shalt
thou
also
speake
to
Shemaiah
the
Nehelamite,
saying:
29:25 Thus
speaketh
the
Lord
of
hostes
the
God
of
Israel,
saying,
Because
thou
hast
sent
letters
in
thy
name
vnto
all
the
people
that
are
at
Ierusalem,
and
to
Zephaniah
the
sonne
of
Maaseiah
the
Priest,
and
to
all
the
priests,
saying;
29:26 The
Lord
hath
made
thee
Priest
in
the
stead
of
Iehoiada
the
Priest,
that
ye
should
be
Officers
in
the
house
of
the
Lord,
for
euery
man
that
is
madde,
and
maketh
himselfe
a
Prophet,
that
thou
shouldest
put
him
in
prison,
and
in
the
stockes:
29:27 Now
therefore
why
hast
thou
not
reproued
Ieremiah
of
Anathoth,
which
maketh
himselfe
a
Prophet
to
you
29:28 For
therefore
he
sent
vnto
vs
in
Babylon,
saying,
This
captiuitie
is
long,
build
ye
houses
and
dwell
in
them,
and
plant
gardens,
and
eate
the
fruit
of
them.
29:29 And
Zephaniah
the
Priest
read
this
letter
in
the
eares
of
Ieremiah
the
Prophet.
29:30 Then
came
the
word
of
the
Lord
vnto
Ieremiah,
saying;
29:31 Send
to
all
them
of
the
captiuitie,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
concerning
Shemaiah
the
Nehelamite,
Because
that
Shemaiah
hath
prophecied
vnto
you,
and
I
sent
him
not,
and
he
caused
you
to
trust
in
a
lye.
29:32 Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord,
Behold,
I
will
punish
Shemaiah
the
Nehelamite
and
his
seed:
he
shall
not
haue
a
man
to
dwell
among
this
people,
neither
shall
hee
behold
the
good
that
I
will
doe
for
my
people,
saith
the
Lord,
because
he
hath
taught
rebellion
against
the
Lord.
