029:019 because they have not listened to my words, says Yahweh,
with which I sent to them my servants the prophets, rising up
early and sending them; but you would not hear, says Yahweh.
029:020 Hear you therefore the word of Yahweh, all you of the captivity,
whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
029:021 Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab
the son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah,
who prophesy a lie to you in my name: Behold, I will deliver
them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon;
and he shall kill them before your eyes;
029:022 and of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captives of Judah
who are in Babylon, saying, Yahweh make you like Zedekiah
and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
029:023 because they have worked folly in Israel, and have committed
adultery with their neighbors' wives, and have spoken
words in my name falsely, which I didn't command them;
and I am he who knows, and am witness, says Yahweh.
029:024 Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying,
029:025 Thus speaks Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, saying,

Jeremiah the prophet.
029:030 Then came the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah, saying,
029:031 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus says Yahweh
concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has
