Jeremiah 28:16

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against Jehovah." — Jeremiah 28:16 (ASV)

I will cast thee - Rather, I send you away. God had not sent Hananiah to prophesy, but He does now send him away to die.

Taught rebellion - As Nebuchadnezzar was Yahweh’s servant, to teach rebellion against him was to teach rebellion against his Master.
