Commentaries on Jeremiah 28:3

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3Within two full years - Time sufficient for the Chaldeans to destroy the city, and carry away the rest of the sacred vessels; but he did not live to see the end of this short period.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3Within two full years - literally, In yet two years even days. Hananiah probably was induced to fix this date by the expectation that the confederacy then on foot would defeat Nebuchadnezzar.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 2-3Hananiah's message was the accepted propaganda, but he used strong words (Jeremiah 27:4) to claim the Lord's authority. Judah had been under the control of the king of Babylon since 597 BC.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 33. two full years--literally, "years of days." So "a month of days," that is, all its days complete (Ge 29:14, Margin; Ge 41:1). It was marvellous presumption to speak so definitely without having any divine revelation.Read the comment
