1 Samuel 3:19-20

3:19 Samuel continued to grow, and the Lord was with him. None of his prophecies fell to the ground unfulfilled. ¹  3:20 All Israel from Dan to Beer Sheba realized that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the Lord.

Jeremiah 28:9

28:9 So if a prophet prophesied ²  peace and prosperity, it was only known that the Lord truly sent him when what he prophesied came true.”

¹ tn Heb “and he did not cause to fall from all his words to the ground.”

² tn The verbs in this verse are to be interpreted as iterative imperfects in past time rather than as futures because of the explicit contrast that is drawn in the two verses by the emphatic syntactical construction of the two verses. Both verses begin with a casus pendens construction to throw the two verses into contrast: Heb “The prophets who were before me and you from ancient times, they prophesied…The prophet who prophesied peace, when the word of that prophet came true, that prophet was known that the Lord truly sent him.”
