Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,
The prophet Jeremiah. The epithet, "the prophet," is prefixed to "Jeremiah" throughout this chapter, to correspond to the same epithet before "Hananiah;" except Jeremiah 28:12, where "the prophet" has been inserted in the English version. The rival claims of the true and the false prophet are thus put in the more prominent contrast.
