Context of Jeremiah 28:16

14For thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also. 15Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; Yhwh hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. Therefore thus saith Yhwh; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against Yhwh. 17So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Commentaries on Jeremiah 28:16

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 16This year thou shalt die - By this shall the people know who is the true prophet. Thou hast taught rebellion against the Lord, and God will cut thee off; and this shall take place, not within seventy years, or two years, but in this very year, and within two months from this time.Read the comment

He must give up even his right, and leave the Lord to plead his cause. Every attempt of ungodly men to make vain…Read the comment

The Lord showed he remained in control.Read the comment
