Jeremiah 28:17

So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Interpretation

Hananiah is sentenced to die, and Jeremiah, when he has received direction from God, boldly tells him so; but not before he received that commission. Those have much to answer for, who tell sinners that they shall have peace, though they harden their hearts in contempt of God's word.
