Jeremiah 28
- 1The same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
- 2The Lord of Hosts says this, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
- 3Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the items of the Lord's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:
- 4And 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, says the Lord. For I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
- 5Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of the Lord,
- 6Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the Lord do so: the Lord perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the items of the Lord's house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.
- 7But hear you now this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people.
- 8The prophets that have been before me and before you of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of plague.
- 9The prophet which prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet will happen, then shall the prophet be known, that the Lord has truly sent him.
- 10Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke it.
- 11And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, The Lord says this. Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
- 12Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
- 13Go and tell Hananiah, saying, The Lord says this. You have broken the yokes of wood. But you shall make for them yokes of iron.
- 14For the Lord of Hosts says this, the God of Israel. I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.
- 15Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah. The Lord has not sent you. But you make this people to trust in a lie.
- 16Therefore the Lord says this. I will cast you from off the face of the earth: this year you shall die, because you have taught rebellion against the Lord.
- 17So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
