29 Sophonie, le sacrificateur, lut cette lettre en présence de Jérémie, le prophète.

30 Et la parole de l’Éternel fut adressée à Jérémie, en ces mots:

31 Fais dire à tous les captifs: Ainsi parle l’Éternel sur Schemaeja, Néchélamite: Parce que Schemaeja vous prophétise, sans que je l’aie envoyé, et qu’il vous inspire une fausse confiance,

32 voici ce que dit l’Éternel: Je châtierai Schemaeja, Néchélamite, et sa postérité; nul des siens n’habitera au milieu de ce peuple, et il ne verra pas le bien que je ferai à mon peuple, dit l’Éternel; car ses paroles sont une révolte contre l’Éternel.
