Jeremiah 29:32

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.

Therefore thus saith {H559} the LORD {H3068}; Behold, I will punish {H6485} Shemaiah {H8098} the Nehelamite {H5161}, and his seed {H2233}: he shall not have a man {H376} to dwell {H3427} among {H8432} this people {H5971}; neither shall he behold {H7200} the good {H2896} that I will do {H6213} for my people {H5971}, saith {H5002} the LORD {H3068}; because he hath taught {H1696} rebellion {H5627} against the LORD {H3068}.

Because of this,' ADONAI says, 'I will punish Sh'ma'yah the Nechelami and his offspring. He will not have a man to live among this people, and he will not see the good I am planning to do for my people,' says ADONAI, 'because he has preached rebellion against ADONAI.'"'"

this is what the LORD says: ‘I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good that I will bring to My people, declares the LORD, for he has preached rebellion against the LORD.’”

therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed; he shall not have a man to dwell among this people, neither shall he behold the good that I will do unto my people, saith Jehovah, because he hath spoken rebellion against Jehovah.
