Jeremiah 28-30

It took me about 20 minutes to read this passage. I think one of best lessons that Jeremiah teaches is in 28:10-11. The false prophet Hannaniah confronts Jeremiah in front of all the people and acuses God's prophet of speaking lies. Jeremiah responds by leaving without saying a word. Why? Because God hadn't given him a word to say. In the heat of the moment he didn't respond. Jeremiah waited to speak until it was clear to him the words God wanted spoken.
