Jeremías 28:8

8 Los profetas que fueron antes de mí y antes de ti desde la antiguedad, profetizaron guerra, calamidad y pestilencia contra muchas tierras y contra grandes reinos.

Jeremías 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.

Jeremías 28:8 In-Context

6 y el profeta Jeremías dijo: Amén, así lo haga el SEÑOR. Confirme el SEÑOR tus palabras, que has profetizado para que sean devueltos los utensilios de la casa del SEÑOR y vuelvan todos los desterrados de Babilonia a este lugar.

7 Pero oye ahora esta palabra que voy a hablar a tus oídos y a oídos de todo el pueblo:

8 Los profetas que fueron antes de mí y antes de ti desde la antiguedad, profetizaron guerra, calamidad y pestilencia contra muchas tierras y contra grandes reinos.

9 Si un profeta profetiza paz, cuando la palabra del profeta se cumpla, entonces ese profeta será conocido como el que el SEÑOR en verdad ha enviado.

10 Entonces el profeta Hananías quitó el yugo del cuello del profeta Jeremías y lo rompió.
