Jeremiah 29:30

Then the Lord gave a message to Jeremiah. He was to tell the exiles that because Shemaiah had prophesied falsely, Yahweh would punish Shemaiah and his descendants. The Lord would cut off his family line, and Shemaiah would not live to see the good that Yahweh would do to His people. [Note: Compare Jeremiah’s words of judgment on Hananiah (28:15-16).] Shemaiah’s prophesying constituted advocating rebellion against Yahweh.

Chapters 26-29 all record the terrible consequences of rejecting the Word of the Lord that one of His faithful servants, a true prophet, announced.
