28In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying,H8141H7225H4467H6667H4428H3063H7243H8141H2549H2320H2608H1121H5809H5030H1391H559H1004H3068H5869H3548H5971H5592"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H559H7665H5923H4428H8943Within two years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the LORD's house, which King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon.H3117H8141H7725H4725H3627H3068H1004H5019H4428H894H3947H4725H935H8944I will also bring back to this place King Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, says the LORD, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon."H7725H4725H3204H1121H3079H4428H3063H1546H3063H935H894H5002H3068H7665H5923H4428H8945Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD;H5030H3414H559H5030H2608H5869H3548H5869H5971H5975H1004H30686and the prophet Jeremiah said, "Amen! May the LORD do so; may the LORD fulfill the words that you have prophesied, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of the LORD, and all the exiles.H5030H3414H559H543H3068H6213H3068H6965H1697H5012H7725H3627H3068H1004H1473H894H47257But listen now to this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.H8085H1697H1696H241H241H59718The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms.H5030H6440H6440H5769H5012H7227H776H1419H4467H4421H7451H16989As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes true, then it will be known that the LORD has truly sent the prophet."H5030H5012H7965H1697H5030H935H227H5030H3045H3068H571H797110Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, and broke it.H2608H5030H3947H4133H5030H3414H6677H766511And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, "Thus says the LORD: This is how I will break the yoke of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon from the neck of all the nations within two years." At this, the prophet Jeremiah went his way.H2608H559H5869H5971H559H559H3068H7665H5923H5019H4428H894H6677H1471H3117H8141H5030H3414H3212H187012Sometime after the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:H1697H3068H3414H310H2608H5030H7665H4133H6677H5030H3414H55913Go, tell Hananiah, Thus says the LORD: You have broken wooden bars only to forge iron bars in place of them!H1980H559H2608H559H559H3068H7665H4133H6086H6213H4133H127014For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put an iron yoke on the neck of all these nations so that they may serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and they shall indeed serve him; I have even given him the wild animals.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H5414H5923H1270H6677H1471H5647H5019H4428H894H5647H5414H2416H770415And the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, "Listen, Hananiah, the LORD has not sent you, and you made this people trust in a lie.H559H5030H3414H2608H5030H8085H2608H3068H7971H5971H982H826716Therefore thus says the LORD: I am going to send you off the face of the earth. Within this year you will be dead, because you have spoken rebellion against the LORD."H559H3068H7971H6440H127H8141H4191H1696H5627H306817In that same year, in the seventh month, the prophet Hananiah died.H2608H5030H4191H8141H7637H2320
