28IN THAT same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and the fifth month, Hananiah son of Azzur, the [false] prophet, who was from Gibeon [one of the priests' cities], said [falsely] to me in the house of the Lord in the presence of the priests and all the people:H8141H7225H4467H6667H4428H3063H7243H8141H2549H2320H2608H1121H5809H5030H1391H559H1004H3068H5869H3548H5971H5592Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H559H7665H5923H4428H8943Within two [full] years will I bring back into this place all the vessels of the Lord's house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon.H3117H8141H7725H4725H3627H3068H1004H5019H4428H894H3947H4725H935H8944And I will also bring back to this place Jeconiah [also called Coniah and Jehoiachin] son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with 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 stood in the house of the Lord.H5030H3414H559H5030H2608H5869H3548H5869H5971H5975H1004H30686The prophet Jeremiah said, Amen! May the Lord do so; may the Lord perform your words which you have prophesied to bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the Lord's house and all who were carried away captive.H5030H3414H559H543H3068H6213H3068H6965H1697H5012H7725H3627H3068H1004H1473H894H47257Nevertheless, listen now to {and} hear this word which I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people:H8085H1697H1696H241H241H59718The prophets who were before me and before you from of old prophesied against many countries and against great kingdoms, of war, of evil, and of pestilence.H5030H6440H6440H5769H5012H7227H776H1419H4467H4421H7451H16989But as for the prophet who [on the contrary] prophesies of peace, when that prophet's word comes to pass, [only] then will it be known that the Lord has truly sent him.H5030H5012H7965H1697H5030H935H227H5030H3045H3068H571H797110Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke bar off the prophet Jeremiah's neck and smashed it.H2608H5030H3947H4133H5030H3414H6677H766511And Hananiah said in the presence of all the people, Thus says the Lord: Even so will I break the yoke bars of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations within the space of two [full] years. But the prophet Jeremiah went his way.H2608H559H5869H5971H559H559H3068H7665H5923H5019H4428H894H6677H1471H3117H8141H5030H3414H3212H187012The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet [some time] after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke bar from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah:H1697H3068H3414H310H2608H5030H7665H4133H6677H5030H3414H55913Go, tell Hananiah, Thus says the Lord: You have broken yoke bars of wood, but you have made in their stead bars of iron.H1980H559H2608H559H559H3068H7665H4133H6086H6213H4133H127014For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put upon the neck of all these nations the iron yoke of servitude of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they shall serve him. For I have given him even the beasts of the field.H559H3068H6635H430H3478H5414H5923H1270H6677H1471H5647H5019H4428H894H5647H5414H2416H770415Then said the prophet Jeremiah to Hananiah the prophet, Listen now, Hananiah, The Lord has not sent you, but you have made this people trust in a lie.H559H5030H3414H2608H5030H8085H2608H3068H7971H5971H982H826716Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you will die, because you have uttered {and} taught rebellion against the Lord.H559H3068H7971H6440H127H8141H4191H1696H5627H306817So Hananiah the prophet died [two months later], the same year, in the seventh month.H2608H5030H4191H8141H7637H2320
