Jeremiah and the Prophet Hananiah

28That same year, in the fifth month of the fourth year that Zedekiah was king, Hananiah son of Azzur, a prophet from the town of Gibeon, spoke to me in the Temple. In the presence of the priests and of the people he told meH8141H7225H4467H6667H4428H3063H7243H8141H2549H2320H2608H1121H5809H5030H1391H559H1004H3068H5869H3548H5971H559
2that the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, had said: "I have broken the power of the king of Babylonia.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H559H7665H5923H4428H894
3Within two years I will bring back to this place all the Temple treasures that King Nebuchadnezzar took to Babylonia.H3117H8141H7725H4725H3627H3068H1004H5019H4428H894H3947H4725H935H894
4I will also bring back the king of Judah, Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, along with all of the people of Judah who went into exile in Babylonia. Yes, I will break the power of the king of Babylonia. I, the LORD, have spoken."H7725H4725H3204H1121H3079H4428H3063H1546H3063H935H894H5002H3068H7665H5923H4428H894
5Then in the presence of the priests and of all the people who were standing in the Temple, I said to Hananiah,H5030H3414H559H5030H2608H5869H3548H5869H5971H5975H1004H3068
6"Wonderful! I hope the LORD will do this! I certainly hope he will make your prophecy come true and will bring back from Babylonia all the Temple treasures and all the people who were taken away as prisoners.H5030H3414H559H543H3068H6213H3068H6965H1697H5012H7725H3627H3068H1004H1473H894H4725
7But listen to what I say to you and to the people.H8085H1697H1696H241H241H5971
8The prophets who spoke long ago, before my time and yours, predicted that war, starvation, and disease would come to many nations and powerful kingdoms.H5030H6440H6440H5769H5012H7227H776H1419H4467H4421H7451H1698
9But a prophet who predicts peace can only be recognized as a prophet whom the LORD has truly sent when that prophet's predictions come true."H5030H5012H7965H1697H5030H935H227H5030H3045H3068H571H7971
10Then Hananiah took the yoke off my neck, broke it in pieces,H2608H5030H3947H4133H5030H3414H6677H7665
11and said in the presence of all the people, "The LORD has said that this is how he will break the yoke that King Nebuchadnezzar has put on the neck of all the nations; and he will do this within two years." Then I left.H2608H559H5869H5971H559H559H3068H7665H5923H5019H4428H894H6677H1471H3117H8141H5030H3414H3212H1870
12Some time after this the LORD told meH1697H3068H3414H310H2608H5030H7665H4133H6677H5030H3414H559
13to go and tell Hananiah: "The LORD has said that you may be able to break a wooden yoke, but he will replace it with an iron yoke.H1980H559H2608H559H559H3068H7665H4133H6086H6213H4133H1270
14The LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, has said that he will put an iron yoke on all these nations and that they will serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia. The LORD has said that he will make even the wild animals serve Nebuchadnezzar."H559H3068H6635H430H3478H5414H5923H1270H6677H1471H5647H5019H4428H894H5647H5414H2416H7704
15Then I told Hananiah this, and added, "Listen, Hananiah! The LORD did not send you, and you are making these people believe a lie.H559H5030H3414H2608H5030H8085H2608H3068H7971H5971H982H8267
16And so the LORD himself says that he is going to get rid of you. Before this year is over you will die because you have told the people to rebel against the LORD."H559H3068H7971H6440H127H8141H4191H1696H5627H3068
17And Hananiah died in the seventh month of that same year.H2608H5030H4191H8141H7637H2320
