Jeremiah 29:26 in Context — Jeremiah 29
24 Y á Semaías de Nehelam hablarás, diciendo:
25 Así habló Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel, diciendo: Por cuanto enviaste letras en tu nombre á todo el pueblo que está en Jerusalem, y á Sophonías sacerdote hijo de Maasías, y á todos los sacerdotes, diciendo:
26 Jehová te ha puesto por sacerdote en lugar de Joiada sacerdote, para que presidáis en la casa de Jehová sobre todo hombre furioso y profetizante, poniéndolo en el calabozo y en el cepo.
27 ¿Por qué pues no has ahora reprendido á Jeremías de Anathoth, que os profetiza [falsamente]?
28 Porque por eso nos envió á decir en Babilonia: Largo va [el cautiverio]: edificad casas, y morad; plantad huertos, y comed el fruto de ellos.
