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.
Cross-reference
Jeremiah 29:10-14 is the promised restoration Shemaiah will not see. This cross-reference explains what 'the good' in the judgment refers to.
In Jeremiah 29:24, the oracle against Shemaiah begins, naming the false prophet judged in this verse.
Jeremiah 20:6 gives a parallel judgment on false prophet Pashhur — he and his friends die in exile, just as Shemaiah's descendants are cut off.
Jeremiah 22:30 pronounces Jehoiachin childless — a parallel to cutting off Shemaiah's descendants from seeing good. Both involve lineage terminated.
Jeremiah 28:16 condemns Hananiah for rebellion, dying that year. Shemaiah receives a similar fate for the same offense — speaking rebellion.
Jeremiah 35:19 promises the Rechabites never to lack a man before God — the opposite outcome. Contrast: blessing vs. curse on descendants.
Jeremiah 27:15 warns that false prophets will perish because God did not send them — echoes the same reason for Shemaiah's judgment.
Jeremiah 28:15 condemns Hananiah for false prophecy, saying God did not send him — parallel judgment on rebels against God's word.
Numbers 16:27-33 describes Korah's household being swallowed — a similar divine judgment on a rebel's entire family.
1 Samuel 2:30-34 cuts off Eli's descendants for despising God — a parallel judgment. Both families lose the privilege of seeing God's goodness.
In Amos 7:17, a similar judgment falls on a false prophet — family cut off and exile. Both show God's punishment for speaking rebellion.
Ezekiel 13:9 describes false prophets being cut off from God's people — the very fate Shemaiah received.
Exodus 20:5 establishes the principle of God visiting iniquity on descendants — the same logic seen in Shemaiah's household punishment.
2 Kings 5:27 shows Gehazi's lie brings leprosy on his descendants — like Shemaiah, a prophet's deception leads to generational curse.
Joshua 7:24 shows Achan and his family punished together — echoing the corporate judgment on Shemaiah's house.
