Zephaniah the priest reads the letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet, and the LORD’s word concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite
제사장 스바냐가 느헬람 사람 스마야의 글을 선지자 예레미야에게 읽어 들린 일과 스마야에 대한 여호와의 말씀
Jeremiah 29:24–32: the text says, “Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says, “Because you have sent letters in your own name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying, ‘The LORD has made you priest in the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in the LORD’s house, for every man who is crazy and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles. Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you, because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long. Build houses, and dwell in them. Plant gardens, and eat their fruit?’”’” Zephaniah the priest reads this letter in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet. Then the LORD’s word comes to Jeremiah, saying, “Send to all of the captives, saying, ‘The LORD says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: “Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, and I didn’t send him, and he has caused you to trust in a lie,” therefore the LORD says, “Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his offspring. He will not have a man to dwell among this people. He won’t see the good that I will do to my people,” says the LORD, “because he has spoken rebellion against the LORD.”’” 29:24 does not say who gives the command. The Korean Revised Version reads 스마야에게 at 29:24 (to Shemaiah), where WEB reads “Concerning Shemaiah”; at 29:29 it names 스마야의 글 (the writing of Shemaiah), where WEB reads “this letter”, and runs 29:29 into 29:30 (읽어 들릴 때에, as he read it); at 29:28 it reads 때가 오래리니 (the time will be long), where WEB reads “The captivity is long”; and at 29:32 it gives the rebellion (그가 나 여호와께 패역한 말을 하였음을 인하여) before “He will not have a man to dwell among this people”, where WEB gives it last.
