Jeremiah 28:8

Hananiah’s False Prophecy

7Nevertheless, listen now to this message I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.8The prophets of old who preceded you and me prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great kingdoms.9As for the prophet who prophesies peace, only if the word of the prophet comes true will the prophet be recognized as one the LORD has truly sent.”
