Jeremiah 28:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ There were prophets long before we became prophets, Hananiah. They prophesied that war, ·hunger [famine; or disaster; calamity], and ·terrible diseases [plague; pestilence] would come to many countries and great kingdoms. ⁹ But if a prophet prophesies that we will have peace and that message comes true, he can be recognized as one truly sent by the Lord [^Cprophets usually came announcing judgment not peace].”

¹⁰ Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off Jeremiah’s neck and ·broke [shattered] it.
