Jeremiah 28:7-8 KJV “Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people; [8] The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.”
In a conversation with the men of Judah and a prophet to prophet showdown, Jeremiah uttered these words. The prophets that have been before him and even the prophets of old prophesied both against many countries and against great kingdoms.
This is what they do, warn the people of coming destruction when the sins (of the people) mount up to Heaven. This is why the Bible is filled with a lot of “doom and gloom!”
The prophets were and are warning the people who are doing the dooming and glooming; thus the prophecy of war, of evil, and of disease and pestilence. There is so much beauty in our earth, but there is a lot of ugly.
The prophets often warn people of the ugly and the ugly is just a reflection of our own behavior as a society. Praise the LORD for prophets and prophesying.

Jeremiah 28 King James Version
2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:
4 And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the Lord: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord,
6 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the Lord do so: the Lord perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the Lord’s house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.
7 Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;
8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
9 The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the Lord hath truly sent him.
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it.
