You wrote to Zephaniah,“ The Lord has appointed you to replace Jehoiada as the priest in charge of the house of the Lord. You are responsible to put into stocks and neck irons any crazy man who claims to be a prophet.So why have you done nothing to stop Jeremiah from Anathoth, who pretends to be a prophet among you?Jeremiah sent a letter here to Babylon, predicting that our captivity will be a long one. He said,‘ Build homes, and plan to stay. Plant gardens, and eat the food they produce.’”But when Zephaniah the priest received Shemaiah’s letter, he took it to Jeremiah and read it to him.Then the Lord gave this message to Jeremiah:“ Send an open letter to all the exiles in Babylon. Tell them,‘ This is what the Lord says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Since he has prophesied to you when I did not send him and has tricked you into believing his lies,I will punish him and his family. None of his descendants will see the good things I will do for my people, for he has incited you to rebel against me. I, the Lord, have spoken!’”

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke off Jeremiah’s neck and broke it in pieces.And Hananiah said again to the crowd that had gathered,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ Just as this yoke has been broken, within two years I will break the yoke of oppression from all the nations now subject to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.’” With that, Jeremiah left the Temple area.
