Midrash for Jeremiah 28:16
לָכֵ֗ן כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה הִנְנִי֙ מְשַֽׁלֵּֽחֲךָ֔ מֵעַ֖ל פְּנֵ֣י הָאֲדָמָ֑ה הַשָּׁנָה֙ אַתָּ֣ה מֵ֔ת כִּֽי־סָרָ֥ה דִבַּ֖רְתָּ אֶל־יְהוָֽה׃
’Therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth; this year thou shalt die, because thou hast spoken perversion against the LORD.’
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 19:16) "If there arise a witness chamas against a man to testify against him sarah": "chamas" connotes a robber, and "sarah," as in (Ibid. 13:6) "for he has spoken sarah," and (Jeremiah 28:16) "This year you shall die, for you have spoken sarah of the L-rd."
