Jeremiah 28:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 28:7

Nevertheless, hear thou now this word that I speak in thine
ears
Though this would be very acceptable to me, and I should be glad to have it fulfilled; yet carefully attend to what I am about to say, it being what greatly concerns thee to observe, as well as all present to listen to: and therefore it is added, and in the ears of all the people;
that stood round to hear the conversation that passed between the two prophets.

7 Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears and in the ears of all the people,
8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
9 The prophet which prophesied of peace, when the word of the prophet should come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD has truly sent him.
