Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
The Lord's judgment on Shemaiah is clear: he shall have no child left among the people, and he himself shall never see the redemption He will bring to Israel. His race is cut off, and he is shut out from the very blessing he pretended to prophesy. This is what comes of rebellion against the Lord's word.

Commenting on Jeremiah 29:30-32
This dreamer Shemaiah got wind of my letter and flew into a rage, not because he could answer it with truth, but because it exposed him. Rather than defend his false prophecies, he takes pen in hand and stirs up the priests to come after me, writing as though he were dictator to all mankind. That is the mark of a man who knows his ground is rotten.

Commenting on Jeremiah 29:24-32
This resumes the thread of the sentence which began at Jer 29:25, but was left there not completed. Here, in this thirtieth verse, it is completed, not however in continuity, but by a new period. The same construction occurs in Rom 5:12-15.
