Jeremiah 28

Jeremiah 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, spoke unto me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
2Thus hath the Lord of the hosts the God of Israel spoken, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3Within two full years I will 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:
4and 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.
5Then 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,
6therefore the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the Lord do so: the Lord confirm thy words with which thou hast prophesied that the vessels of the Lord’s house and all those that are carried away captive are to be returned from Babylon unto this place.
7Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears and in the ears of all the people,
8The 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.
9The prophet which prophesied of peace, when the word of the prophet should come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the Lord has truly sent him.
10¶ Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck and broke it.
11And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus hath the Lord said: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the Gentiles within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12And after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying,
13Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus hath the Lord said: Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make yokes of iron instead.
14For thus hath the Lord of the hosts the God of Israel said: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these Gentiles, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him; and I have even given him the beasts of the field.
15Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The Lord has not sent thee; and thou hast made this people to trust in a lie.
16Therefore thus hath the Lord said; Behold, I will send thee away from upon the face of the earth; this year thou shalt die because thou hast spoken rebellion against the Lord.
17So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

Jeremiah 28
28
1 And it happened in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me, in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying:
2 "Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3 There are still two years of days, and then I will cause to be carried back to this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord that Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, took from this place and carried away to Babylon.
4 And I will return to this place: Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and all those taken captive from Judah, who were brought into Babylon, says the Lord. For I will crush the yoke of the king of Babylon."
5 And Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests and before the eyes of all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord.
6 And Jeremiah the prophet said: "Amen, may the Lord accomplish this; may the Lord act upon your words, which you have prophesied, so that the vessels may be carried back to the house of the Lord, and so that all those taken captive may return from Babylon to this place.
7 Yet truly, listen to this word, which I am speaking to your ears and to the ears of all the people.
8 The prophets, who were before me and before you, from the beginning, have prophesied over many lands and over great kingdoms, about war, and about affliction, and about famine.
9 The prophet who has predicted peace, if his word will occur, then the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has sent in truth."
10 And Hananiah the prophet took the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and he broke it.
11 And Hananiah spoke in the sight of all the people, saying: "Thus says the Lord: So shall I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, after two years of days, from the neck of all the people."
12 And Jeremiah the prophet went his own way. And after Hananiah the prophet had broken the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
13 "Go, and you shall say to Hananiah: Thus says the Lord: You have broken chains of wood, and so you will make for them chains of iron.
14 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have placed a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, so that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. And they shall serve him. Moreover, I have given to him even the beasts of the earth."
15 And Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet: "Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, and so you have caused this people to trust in a lie.
16 For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will send you away from the face of the earth. This year, you shall die. For you have spoken against the Lord."
17 And Hananiah the prophet died in that year, in the seventh month.
