Jeremiah 21:1
The Lord Will Hand Jerusalem over to Enemies
21:1 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur son of Malkijah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah. Zedekiah sent them to Jeremiah to ask,
Jeremiah 29:25-26
29:25 that the
Lord God of Israel who rules over all
has a message for him.
Tell him,
‘On your own initiative
you sent a letter
to the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah
and to all the other priests and to all the people in Jerusalem.
In your letter you said to Zephaniah,
29:26 “The
Lord has made you priest in place of Jehoiada.
He has put you in charge in the
Lord’s temple of controlling
any lunatic
who pretends to be a prophet.
And it is your duty to put any such person in the stocks
with an iron collar around his neck.
