Jer 28
1
And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king
of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azzur,
the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of YHWH, in the presence
of the priests and of all the people, saying,
2
Thus speaks YHWH 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 YHWH`s
house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried
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 to Babylon, says YHWH; for I will break
the yoke of the king of Babylon.
5
Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests,
and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of YHWH,
6
even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: YHWH do so; YHWH perform your words which you
have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of YHWH`s house, and all them of the captivity,
from Babylon to this place.
7
Nevertheless hear you now this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of
all the people:
8
The prophets that have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many
countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
9
The prophet that prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass,
then shall the prophet be known, that YHWH has truly sent him.
10
Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah`s neck, and brake
it.
11
And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus says YHWH: Even
so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two full years from
off the neck of all the nations. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12
Then the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken
the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
13
Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus says YHWH: You have broken the bars of wood; but
you have made in their stead bars of iron.
14
For thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put a yoke of iron upon the
neck of all these nations, that they may served Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and
they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.
15
Then said the prophet Jeremiah to Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah: YHWH has
not sent you; but you make this people to trust in a lie.
16
Therefore thus says YHWH, Behold, I will send you away from off the face of the earth:
this year you shall die, because you have spoken rebellion against YHWH.
17
So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
