Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 37:19

19 Where are now your prophets, which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land .

You now see what kind of Prophets they are, who fed you with hopes, that the King of Babylons Army should return no more to the siege of the City. I told you they would return you had other Prophets that told you they should not, judge, now who were the true Prophets. The Devil in all Ages had some that contradicted the true Prophets of the Lord: Three Hundred false Prophets contradicted one Micaiah, as to Ahabs going up to Ramoth Gil[illegible: 1 letter]ad, and prospering in that expedition. There were many that contradicted Isaiah and Ieremiah, and other true Prophets, as to the King of Babylons coming to besiege Hierusalem, and his return again to the siege when he had risen up from it, to meet the Egyptian Army; and as to the length of time in which the Iews should be in captivity; yet to let us see mens madness upon their lusts, as there still have risen up other generations of false teachers, and flatterers, so they have alwayes found more favour then those that have dealt more faithfully in revealing Gods will.
