Jeremiah 24:10

24:10 I will bring war, starvation, and disease ¹  on them until they are completely destroyed from the land I gave them and their ancestors.’” ² 

Jeremiah 28:16

28:16 So the Lord says, ‘I will most assuredly remove ³  you from the face of the earth. You will die this very year because you have counseled rebellion against the Lord.’” ⁴ 

¹ sn See Jer 14:12 and the study note there.

² tn Heb “fathers.”

³ sn There is a play on words here in Hebrew between “did not send you” and “will…remove you.” The two verbs are from the same root word in Hebrew. The first is the simple active and the second is the intensive.

⁴ sn In giving people false assurances of restoration when the Lord had already told them to submit to Babylon, Hananiah was really counseling rebellion against the Lord. What Hananiah had done was contrary to the law of Deut 13:6 and was punishable by death.
