Jeremiah 28:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 The Prophets that have been before me, and before thee in time past, [a]prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of plagues, and of pestilence.
9 And the Prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the Prophet shall come to pass, then shall the Prophet be known that the Lord hath truly sent him.
10 Then Hananiah the Prophet took the yoke from the Prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and [b]brake it.

- Jeremiah 28:8 Meaning, that the Prophets that did either denounce war or peace, were tried either true or false by the success of their prophecies, albeit God maketh to come to pass sometimes that which the false prophet speaketh to try the faith of his, Deut. 13:3.
- Jeremiah 28:10 This declareth the impudence of the wicked hirelings, which have no zeal to the truth, but are led with ambition to get the favor of men, and therefore cannot abide any that might discredit them but burst forth into rages and contrary to their own conscience, pass not what lies they report or how wickedly they do, so that they may maintain their estimation.
