Jeremiah 28:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Even the Prophet Jeremiah said, So be it: the [a]Lord so do, the Lord confirm thy words which thou hast prophesied, to restore the vessels of the Lord’s house, and all that is carried captive from Babel, into this place.
7 But hear thou now this word that I will speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people.
8 The Prophets that have been before me, and before thee in time past, [b]prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of plagues, and of pestilence.
