The prophets: As Hosea, Joel, Amos, Isaiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and others, all of whom had denounced similar evils against a corrupt people. So that they who opposed Jeremiah also opposed those who preceded him; and it was altogether unprecedented for a true prophet to promise deliverance to a guilty nation, without calling them to repentance.

prophesied: Leviticus 26:14-46, Deuteronomy 4:26, Deuteronomy 4:27, Deuteronomy 28:15-68, Deuteronomy 29:18-28, Deuteronomy 31:16, Deuteronomy 31:17, Deuteronomy 32:15-44, 1 Samuel 2:27-32, 1 Samuel 3:11-14, 1 Kings 14:7-15, 1 Kings 17:1, 1 Kings 21:18-24, 1 Kings 22:8, Isaiah 5:1-8, Isaiah 6:9-12, Isaiah 13:18, Isaiah 24:1-23, Joel 1:2-20, Joel 3:1-11, Micah 3:8-12, Nahum 1:1 - Nahum 3:19, Amos 1:2

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The prophets that have been before me, and before thee of old,.... Such as Isaiah, Hoses, Joel, Amos, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and others: these

prophesied both against many countries and against great kingdoms; as Egypt, Babylon, Syria, Ethiopia, Moab, c. as Isaiah particularly did:

of war, and of evil, and of pestilence by evil some think is meant famine, because that usually goes along with the other mentioned, and there being but one letter in which the words for evil and famine differ; and now the prophets that prophesied of these were sent of God, were the true prophets of the Lord; and therefore this ought not to be objected to the prejudice of Jeremiah, that his prophecies were of this sort: yea, if they should not come to pass, yet a man is not to be counted a false prophet, because such things are threatened in case nations do not repent of their sins and reform, which they may do; and then the evils threatened are prevented, as in the case of the Ninevites.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Jeremiah’s own wishes concurred with Hananiah’s prediction, but asserts that that prediction was at variance with the language of the older prophets.

Jeremiah 28:9

Then shall the prophet ... - Or, “shall be known as the prophet whom the Lord hath truly sent.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 28:8. The prophets that have been before me — Namely, Joel, Amos, Hosea, Micah, Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk, and others; all of whom denounced similar evils against a corrupt people.
