Jeremiah 28:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ But listen to what I have to say. I want you and all the people to hear it. ⁸ There have been prophets long before you and I were ever born. They have prophesied against many countries and great kingdoms. They have spoken about war, trouble and plague. ⁹ But what if a prophet says peace will come? And suppose peace really does come? Only then will he be recognized as a prophet truly sent by the Lord.”
