Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 28:8
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
8. prophets . . . before me —Hosea, Joel, Amos, and others. evil —a few manuscripts, read " famine, " which is more usually associated with the specification of war and pestilence ( Jeremiah 15:2 ; Jeremiah 18:21 ; Jeremiah 27:8 ; Jeremiah 27:13 ). But evil here includes all the calamities flowing from war, not merely famine, but also desolation, &c. Evil, being the more difficult reading, is less likely to be the interpolated one than famine, which probably originated in copying the parallel passages. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-9" class="com-number"
