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, and in the fifth month, that
Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the
house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
Jer 28:2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have
broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Jer 28:3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the
vessels of the Lord's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from
this place, and carried them to Babylon:
Jer 28:4 And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king
of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the
Lord: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Jer 28:5 Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the
presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the
house of the Lord,
Jer 28:6 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the Lord do so: the Lord perform
thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the Lord's
house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.
Jer 28:7 Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in
the ears of all the people;
Jer 28:8 The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied
both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil,
and of pestilence.
Jer 28:9 The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet
shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the Lord hath truly
sent him.
Jer 28:10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet
Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.
Jer 28:11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus
saith the Lord; Even so will I 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.
Jer 28:12 Then the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that
Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet
Jeremiah, saying,
Jer 28:13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast broken
the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.
Jer 28:14 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke
of iron upon 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.
Jer 28:15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now,
Hananiah; The Lord hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a
lie.
Jer 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will cast thee from off the
face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion
against the Lord.
Jer 28:17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
