A test of prophecy

5Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet in the sight of the priests and in the sight of all the people who were standing in the house of Yahweh:

6Then Jeremiah the prophet said, “Amen! May Yahweh do so; may Yahweh fulfill your words that you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the house of Yahweh and all the exiles from Babylon to this place.”

7Yet please hear this word that I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people:

8The prophets who were before me and before you from ancient times prophesied against many lands and against great kingdoms, of war and disaster and plague.

9As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to pass, then that prophet will be known as one whom Yahweh has truly sent.
