JEREMIAH CHAPTER 29
Jeremiah’s letter to the captives in Babylon, to be quiet there, Jer_29:1-7: not to believe false prophets; nor expect to return till after seventy years, Jer_29:8-14. The destruction of those who remained in Judah for their disobedience, Jer_29:15-19. The fearful end of two lying prophets, Jer_29:20-23. Shemaiah’s letter against Jeremiah, Jer_29:24-29, who readeth his doom, Jer_29:30-32.
There were two carryings into the captivity of Babylon, the latter about eleven or twelve years after the former; the first was in the time of Jehoiachin, of which we read in 2Ki_24:14, when the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths, were carried away, as we read there, amongst whom were some priests and prophets.
