Jeremiah 28:7

Jeremiah 28:7 In-Context

5 The prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah in front of the priests and all the people standing in the LORD's temple.

6 He said, "Amen! May the LORD do this! May the LORD make your prophecy come true and bring back the utensils of the LORD's temple and all the captives from Babylon to this place.

8 Long ago, the prophets who preceded you and me prophesied wars, disasters, and plagues against many countries and great kingdoms.

9 But the prophet who prophesied peace was recognized as a prophet that the LORD sent only if the message of the prophet came true."
