Jer 29:22 | MHM | STEP | v. 22 : God declared that the king of Babylon would punish these false prophets harshly. "The king of Babylon shall slay them before your eyes;" they would be burned in the fire (Jeremiah 29:22 ). Their names would become a curse among the exiles. People would say, "The Lord make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab," meaning they would wish the worst on someone. The people would finally see the danger of following false prophets. The memory of true prophets, who suffered for God, would be honored. But the memory of these false prophets would bring only shame.
