Jeremiah 29:15

Because ye have said, The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;

Cross-reference

Jeremiah 29:8 directly warns against the very prophets the people claim God raised up — a contrast between divine warning and human assumption.

Jeremiah 29:9 explicitly denies sending the prophets, directly contradicting the claim in verse 15 that God raised them up.

Jeremiah 29:20 directly addresses the exiles in Babylon — the same group who claimed in 29:15 that God had raised up prophets among them.

Jeremiah 28:1–17 Historical context

Jeremiah 28:1-17 recounts Hananiah's false prophecy of a swift return — the kind of empty hope that Jeremiah 29:15's audience clings to when they claim God raised up prophets in Babylon.

Ezekiel 1:1 Parallel

Ezekiel 1:1 places Ezekiel among the captives in Babylon — a concrete example of a prophet raised up there, as claimed in Jeremiah 29:15.

Ezekiel 1:3 Parallel

Ezekiel 1:3 explicitly states the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel in Babylon — illustrating the prophetic activity that Jeremiah 29:15's audience boasted about.
