28:1 Hananiah prophesies falsely the return of the vessels, and of Jeconiah;
28:5 Jeremiah, wishing it to be true, shews that the event will declare the true prophets;
28:10 Hananiah breaks Jeremiah's yoke;
28:12 Jeremiah tells of an iron yoke; v.15, and foretells Hananiah's death.

Hananiah seems to have been more desirous of popular than regal favour; for this prediction could not be altogether agreeable to Zedekiah. But he was evidently a weak as well as a wicked prince, and very generally despised.JeconiahJeremiah 22:24, 22:28, Coniah, 24:1, 52:31-34; 2 Kings 25:27-30, JehoiachincaptivesHeb. captivity, Jeremiah 24:5 *marg.I will break28:2, 28:10, 2:20, 30:8; Genesis 27:40; Isaiah 9:4; Nahum 1:13Reciprocal2 Kings 24:13 - and cut; Jeremiah 5:12 - neither; 29:1 - the elders; 29:2 - Jeconiah; Zechariah 10:2 - they comfort Verse 5the houseJeremiah 28:1, 7:2, 19:14, 26:2

Verse 8The prophetsAs Hosea, Joel, Amos, Isaiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and others, all of whom had denounced similar evils against a corrupt people. So that they who opposed Jeremiah also opposed those who preceded him; and it was altogether unprecedented for a true prophet to promise deliverance to a guilty nation, without calling them to repentance.prophesiedLeviticus 26:14-46; Deuteronomy 4:26, 4:27, 28:15-68, 29:18-28, 31:16, 31:17, 32:15-44; 1 Samuel 2:27-32, 3:11-14; 1 Kings 14:7-15, 17:1, 21:18-24, 22:8; Isaiah 5:1-8; 6:9-12, 13:18, 24:1-23; Joel 1:2-20, 3:1-11; Micah 3:8-12; Nahum 1:1-3:19; Amos 1:2Reciprocal1 Kings 22:28 - If thou return; Jeremiah 20:8 - I cried; 36:29 - The king Verse 9whichJeremiah 4:10, 6:14, 8:11, 14:13; Ezekiel 13:10, 13:16 thenDeuteronomy 18:22; Ezekiel 13:10-16ReciprocalDeuteronomy 13:2 - General; 1 Kings 22:28 - If thou return; Isaiah 44:25 - frustrateth; Ezekiel 33:33 - when; Zechariah 2:9 - and ye; Malachi 2:4 - ye Verse 10tookJeremiah 28:2, 28:4, 27:2, 36:23, 36:24; 1 Kings 22:11, 22:24, 22:25; Malachi 3:13Reciprocal2 Chronicles 18:10 - horns of iron; Nehemiah 6:14 - on the prophetess; Jeremiah 30:8 - I; 37:19 - your; Amos 7:11 - thus; Acts 13:8 - withstood Verse 11ThusJeremiah 23:17, 29:9; 1 Kings 13:18, 22:6, 22:11, 22:12; 2 Chronicles 18:10, 18:22, 18:23; Proverbs 14:7; Ezekiel 13:7 EvenJeremiah 28:2-4, 27:2-12Reciprocal1 Samuel 18:10 - and he prophesied; 1 Kings 22:24 - Which way; Jeremiah 28:1 - Hananiah; 28:15 - The Lord; Amos 7:11 - thus; Acts 13:8 - withstood Verse 12Jeremiah 1:2, 29:30; 2 Kings 20:4; 1 Chronicles 17:3; Daniel 9:2ReciprocalEzekiel 13:2 - prophesy against; Amos 7:17 - Thy wife Verse 13Thou hastJeremiah 27:15; Psalm 149:8; Lamentations 2:14 thou shaltBy encouraging an unavailing resistance to Nebuchadnezzar.ReciprocalDeuteronomy 28:48 - a yoke; 1 Kings 12:11 - I will add; 2 Chronicles 10:11 - I will put; Jeremiah 14:14 - The prophets; 30:8 - I; 36:28 - General Verse 14I have putJeremiah 27:4, 27:7, 40:4; Deuteronomy 4:20, 28:48; Isaiah 14:4-6 that theyJeremiah 25:9-26; Revelation 17:12, 17:13 and IJeremiah 27:6, 27:7; Daniel 2:38Reciprocal1 Kings 12:11 - I will add; 2 Chronicles 10:11 - I will put; Jeremiah 36:28 - General; 37:13 - Thou; Lamentations 1:14 - yoke; 5:5 - Our necks are under persecution; Daniel 2:37 - the God Verse 15The LordThis was a bold speech, in the presence of those priests and people who were prejudiced in favour of the false prophets, who prophesied to them smooth things.

and Hananiah died in the seventh month; exactly two months after he had delivered his false prophecy, which he declared, in the name of God, would be fulfilled in two years. Here then the true prophet was demonstrated, and the false prophet detected. The death of Hananiah, thus predicted, was God's seal to the words of His prophet, and must have gained his other predictions great credit among the people; though it is evident that it did not induce them to forsake their sins and return to the God of Israel.ReciprocalExodus 9:5 - a set time; Numbers 14:37 - died; 1 Samuel 28:19 - and to morrow; 1 Kings 13:5 - General; 22:25 - Behold; 2 Chronicles 6:23 - requiting; 18:24 - Behold; Jeremiah 27:15 - ye
