Commentary on Jeremiah 28:17

Theological / Devotional

The same year. Literally, “that year,” referring to “the year” of v. 16, not necessarily the “fourth year” of v. 1. At most, a sixth of a year had passed (v. 1) when Jeremiah’s prediction of v. 16 was fulfilled. The speedy fulfillment of the prophet’s prediction should have impressed on the people the genuineness of Jeremiah’s calling, but doubtless some refused to accept even this as an evidence in his favor.
