Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
28:15-17 You must die: The Lord’s decree for Hananiah was the lawful penalty for false prophets (Deut 13:1-5). The Lord carried out the decree that very year; Jeremiah’s prophecy was validated when it was fulfilled two months later. In contrast, Hananiah’s prediction that the Temple treasures would be returned in two years was not fulfilled. The Lord demonstrated that he was still in control.
