エレミヤ書 28:1-29 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 28:9

The prophet which prophesieth of peace ,.... Of prosperity, of good things, as Hananiah did, and which are always acceptable to men; and such a prophet is agreeable to them: when the word of the Lord shall come to pass ; when the prophecy of good things, which he delivers in the name of the Lord, shall be filled: then shall the prophet be known that the Lord hath truly sent him ; and not till then; it is the event that must make it manifest: in the other case it may be in a good... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 28:10

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck ,.... Which he wore as a symbol of the subjection of Judea, and other nations, to the king of Babylon: an impudent and insolent action this was, to take the prophet's yoke from his neck; and the more so, as it was by the command of God that he made it, and wore it: and brake it ; being made of wood, as it afterwards appears, and so might easily be broken. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 28:11

And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people ,.... Explaining to them his meaning, in taking the yoke, and breaking it: saying, thus saith the Lord ; wickedly making use of the Lord's name, to give countenance to his words and actions: even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations, within the space of two full years ; the time he had fixed for the bringing back of the vessels of the sanctuary, Jeremiah 28:3 ; and the prophet... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 28:12

Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet ,.... When in his own house or apartment, to which he retired; and this came to him either in a vision or dream, or by some articulate voice, or by an impulse upon his spirit, directing him what to say to the false prophet: after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the Prophet Jeremiah : how long afterwards is not known, perhaps the same day; or, however, it is certain it was in the same year, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 28:13

Go and tell Hananiah, saying, thus saith the Lord ,.... Whose name he had abused; whose prophet he had ill treated; and whose prophecies he had contradicted, and the symbols of them had contumeliously used: thou hast broken the yokes of wood : or, "bonds", or "the thongs" F17 מוטת עץ "lora lignea", Junius & Tremellius. ; with which the yokes of wood were bound and fastened, as Kimchi interprets it: but thou shall make for them yokes of iron ; not Hananiah, but Jeremiah;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 28:14

For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ,.... Under which titles he is often spoken of; and which he uses, when he delivered anything to his prophets to declare in his name to others: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations : mentioned in Jeremiah 27:3 ; that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they shall serve him ; directly contrary to what Hananiah had prophesied, Jeremiah 28:11 ; that his yoke should be broke off from them; but... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 28:15

Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Hananiah the prophet ,.... The false prophet, as he is again called by the Targum, and in the Syriac version; where he went to him, and met with him, whether in the temple or elsewhere, is not mentioned; very probably in some public place, that there might be witnesses of what was said; for it was for the conviction of others, as well as for his own confusion, the following things are observed: hear now, Hananiah, the Lord hath not sent thee ; though... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 28:16

Therefore thus saith the Lord ,.... Because of this heinous offence, in lying in the name of the Lord, and deceiving the people: behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth ; with the utmost indignation and abhorrence, as not worthy to live upon it: it signifies that he should die, and that not a natural, but violent death, by the immediate hand of God, by some judgment upon him; and so be by force taken off the earth, and buried in it, and be no more seen on it: this year... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 28:17

So Hananiah the prophet died the same year ,.... That he had delivered out his prophecy; in the same year in which Jeremiah said he should die; which proved him to be a false prophet, and Jeremiah to be a true one: in the seventh month : it was two months after he had prophesied; for it was in the fifth month that he prophesied, and in the seventh he died; not after seven months, as Theodoret remarks, but in two months; so he that prophesied, that within two years what he foretold would... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 28:1

And it came to pass the same year - the fifth month - Which commenced with the first new moon of August, according to our calendar. This verse gives the precise date of the prophecy in the preceding chapter; and proves that Zedekiah, not Jehoiakim, is the name that should be read in the first verse of that chapter. Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet - One who called himself a prophet; who pretended to be in commerce with the Lord, and to receive revelations from him. He was probably a... read more
