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.

8 Os profetas que precederam a você e a mim, desde os tempos antigos, profetizaram guerra, desgraça e peste contra muitas nações e grandes reinos.

9 Mas o profeta que profetiza prosperidade será reconhecido como verdadeiro enviado do SENHOR se aquilo que profetizou se realizar”.

10 Então o profeta Hananias tirou o jugo do pescoço de Jeremias e o quebrou
