A Letter to the Exiles

Message to Shemaiah

²⁴ Tell Shemaiah the Nehelamite, ²⁵ “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You sent letters in your own name to all the people in Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah, and to all the other priests. You said to Zephaniah, ²⁶ ‘The Lord has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada to be in charge of the house of the Lord; you should put any maniac who acts like a prophet into the stocks and neck-irons.

24اور نخلامی سمعیاؔہ سے کہنا۔ 25کہ ربُّ الافواج اِسرائیل کا خُدا یُوں فرماتا ہے اِس لِئے کہ تُو نے یروشلیِم کے سب لوگوں کو اور صفنیاؔہ بِن معسیاؔہ کاہِن اور سب کاہِنوں کو اپنے نام سے یُوں خط لِکھ بھیجے۔

26کہ خُداوند نے یہویدؔع کاہِن کی جگہ تُجھ کو کاہِن مُقرّر کِیا کہ تُو خُداوند کے گھر کے ناظِموں میں ہو اور ہر ایک مجنُون اور نبُوّت کے مُدعی کو قَید کرے اور کاٹھ میں ڈالے

My point of view about above verses

Jeremiah wrote a letter to priests and people who exiled to Babylon - and told them God says go there and settle in their cities - pray for that city as if the city will prosper, you will prosper - get married and increase in numbers 

 God told through Jeremiah that go to Babylon and do not trust on prophets and diviners  there, if you will not go i will send famine, pestilence and you will be like rotten fig which can't be eaten 

God told Jeremiah, tell Israelites that do not trust prophets and diviners who prophecy lies on my name, I will hand them over to king of Nebuchadnezzar and he will kill them

God told Jeremiah that tell Israelites priests to imprison all who are telling lies on God's name 

 May God give us wisdom to understand Him through His Word as He speaks with us through this word and prophets - and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
