Jeremias 28:8

8 Os profetas que houve antes de mim e antes de ti, desde a antigüidade, profetizaram contra muitos países e contra grandes reinos, acerca de guerra, de fome e de peste.

Jeremias 28:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 28:8

The prophets that have been before me, and before thee of old,
&c.] Such as Isaiah, Hoses, Joel, Amos, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and others: these prophesied both against many countries and against great kingdoms;
as Egypt, Babylon, Syria, Ethiopia, Moab as Isaiah particularly did: of war, and of evil, and of pestilence;
by evil some think is meant famine, because that usually goes along with the other mentioned, and there being but one letter in which the words for evil and famine differ; and now the prophets that prophesied of these were sent of God, were the true prophets of the Lord; and therefore this ought not to be objected to the prejudice of Jeremiah, that his prophecies were of this sort: yea, if they should not come to pass, yet a man is not to be counted a false prophet, because such things are threatened in case nations do not repent of their sins and reform, which they may do; and then the evils threatened are prevented, as in the case of the Ninevites.

Jeremias 28:8 In-Context

6 Disse pois Jeremias, o profeta: Amém! assim faça o Senhor; cumpra o Senhor as tuas palavras, que profetizaste, e torne ele a trazer os utensílios da casa do Senhor, e todos os do cativeiro, de Babilônia para este lugar.

7 Mas ouve agora esta palavra, que eu falo aos teus ouvidos e aos ouvidos de todo o povo:

8 Os profetas que houve antes de mim e antes de ti, desde a antigüidade, profetizaram contra muitos países e contra grandes reinos, acerca de guerra, de fome e de peste.

9 Quanto ao profeta que profetuar de paz, quando se cumprir a palavra desse profeta, então será conhecido que o Senhor na verdade enviou o profeta.

10 Então o profeta Hananias tomou o canzil do pescoço do profeta Jeremias e o quebrou.
