Jeremiah 29

1 Jeremiah sends a letter to the captives in Babylon to be quiet there,

8 and not to believe the dreams of their prophets;

10 and that they shall return with grace after seventy years.

15 He foretells the destruction of the rest for their disobedience.

20 He shews the fearful end of Ahab and Zedekiah, two lying prophets.

24 Shemaiah writes a letter against Jeremiah.

30 Jeremiah foretells his doom.

Cir. A.M. 3407. B.C. 597. Now.This transaction is supposed to have taken place in the first or second year of Zedekiah.

hear.Dr. Blayney thinks there were two letters written by the prophet to the captives in Babylon, and the first ends with this verse. That having heard, on the return of the embassy, that the captives had received his advices favourably, and because they were deceived by false prophets, who promised them a speedier deliverance, he therefore wrote a second letter, beginning with the fifteenth verse, and going on with the twenty-first, etc. (in which order these verses are read in the Septuagint,) in which he denounces God's judgments on the three chief of those, Ahab, Zedekiah, and Shemaiah.
