Here, he addresses Hananiah, a false prophet. This encounter occurs during a time of political turmoil, as Judah is under threat from Babylon. The title "prophet" is used for both men, highlighting the conflict between true and false prophecy. Jeremiah's role as a true prophet is established in earlier chapters, where he is called by God to deliver messages of repentance and impending judgment.“Listen, Hananiah! Jeremiah's command to "listen" underscores the seriousness of the message he is about to deliver. It is a call for attention and a rebuke, indicating that Hananiah has been speaking without divine authority. This confrontation is a pivotal moment, as it challenges the false assurances Hananiah has given to the people of Judah. The use of Hananiah's name personalizes the rebuke, emphasizing the directness and urgency of Jeremiah's message.The LORD did not send you, This phrase is a direct accusation against Hananiah, asserting that his prophecies are not from God. In the biblical context, a true prophet is one who is sent by God and speaks His words. Jeremiah's declaration exposes Hananiah as a false prophet, which is a serious charge, as it implies leading the people away from God's truth. This aligns with <a href="/deuteronomy/18-20.htm">Deuteronomy 18:20-22</a>, which outlines the criteria for true and false prophets.but you have persuaded this people Hananiah's influence over the people is highlighted here. Despite not being sent by God, he has managed to convince the people of Judah to believe his message. This reflects the danger of false prophecy and the ease with which people can be led astray. The cultural context of the time shows a nation desperate for hope and deliverance, making them susceptible to Hananiah's optimistic but false promises.to trust in a lie. The "lie" refers to Hananiah's false prophecy that the Babylonian yoke would be broken and the exiles would return soon. This false hope contradicted God's true message delivered through Jeremiah, which warned of a prolonged exile. Trusting in a lie leads to misplaced hope and eventual disappointment. This theme of false security is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/ezekiel/13-6.htm">Ezekiel 13:6-7</a>, where false prophets are condemned for leading people astray.

In one sense Hananiah was a prophet as much as Jeremiah. He claimed to have received the prophetic call, and God alone, who searcheth the heart, could pronounce upon the justice of his claim. Whatever training was regarded as necessary for the office he had probably gone through, and now for a number of years he had been universally recognized as a member of the prophetic class. Probably he had those natural gifts, including a real, though dim and not unerring, "second sight," which seems to have formed the substratum of Old Testament prophecy; but he certainly had not the moral backbone so conspicuous in Jeremiah, and he lacked that intimate communion with God (this became dear on the present occasion) which alone warranted the assurance that "Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath sent me." <a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/28-15.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Then the prophet הַנָּבִ֛יא (han·nā·ḇî) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5030.htm">Strong's 5030: </a> A spokesman, speaker, prophet Jeremiah יִרְמְיָ֧ה (yir·mə·yāh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3414.htm">Strong's 3414: </a> Jeremiah -- 'Yah loosens', the name of a number of Israelites said וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (way·yō·mer) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say to אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to the prophet הַנָּבִ֖יא (han·nā·ḇî) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5030.htm">Strong's 5030: </a> A spokesman, speaker, prophet Hananiah, חֲנַנְיָ֥ה (ḥă·nan·yāh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2608.htm">Strong's 2608: </a> Hananiah -- 'Yah has been gracious', the name of a number of Israelites “Listen, שְׁמַֽע־ (šə·ma‘-) Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8085.htm">Strong's 8085: </a> To hear intelligently Hananiah!
