ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૨૯:૨૬
“યહોવાહે યાજક યહોયાદાને સ્થાને તને યાજક નીમ્યો છે કે જેથી તમે યહોવાહના ભક્તિસ્થાનના અધિકારી થાઓ. અને જે કોઈ માણસ ઘેલો છતાં પોતાને પ્રબોધક તરીકે કહેવડાવતો હોય તેને તું બેડી પહેરાવી કેદમાં નાખ.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह २९:२६
कि, ‘यहोवा ने यहोयादा याजक के स्थान पर तुझे याजक ठहरा दिया ताकि तू यहोवा के भवन में रखवाला होकर जितने वहाँ पागलपन करते और भविष्यद्वक्ता बन बैठे हैं उन्हें काठ में ठोंके और उनके गले में लोहे के पट्टे डाले।

In context

24Concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying,

25“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,

26“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.

27Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you,

28because he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, The captivity is long. Build houses, and dwell in them. Plant gardens, and eat their fruit?”’”
