Think Before You Speak

Jeremiah 28

Whew! Now this one will make a person think about what they say. Hananiah, a prophet, spoke supposedly good news to to the people. Apparently, it wasn't true and he was subsequently told by God through Jeremiah that God would cast him "from the face of the earth (NKJV-v16)" within the year for teaching rebellion against God.

I wonder, did Hananiah know that he was teaching rebellion or did he speak with a clear conscience?

MORAL OF THE STORY: Think before you speak or things may just turn out bad for you.
