Jeremiah 28

Hananiah, the False Prophet
1And it was in that same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azzur, the prophet who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of Yahweh before the eyes of the priests and all the people, saying,#Literally “to say” 2“Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, saying,#Literally “to say” ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3Within two years#Literally “In still two years days” I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the house of Yahweh which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took away from this place and brought to Babylon. 4And Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and all the exiles#Hebrew “exile” from Judah who went to Babylon, I will bring back to this place,’ declares#Literally “a declaration of” Yahweh, ‘For I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’ ”
5Then Jeremiah the prophet said 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 Yahweh, 6and Jeremiah the prophet said, “Amen! May Yahweh do so; may Yahweh fulfill your words that you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the house of Yahweh and all the exiles#Hebrew “exile” from Babylon to this place. 7Nevertheless listen please to this word that I am speaking in your hearing#Literally “ears” and in the hearing#Literally “ears” of all the people, 8The prophets who were before#Literally “to the face of” me and before#Literally “to the face of” you from ancient times prophesied against many countries and against great kingdoms of war, and of disaster, and of plague. 9The prophet who prophesies peace, at the coming of the word of the prophet, will become known as the prophet that Yahweh has truly#Literally “in truth” sent.”
10Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it. 11Then Hananiah said before the eyes of all the people, saying,#Literally “to say” “Thus says Yahweh, ‘This is how I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, within two years,#Literally “in still two years days” from the neck of all the nations.’ ” And Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.
12And the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah after Hananiah the prophet broke the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,#Literally “to say” 13“Go, and you must say to Hananiah, saying,#Literally “to say” ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You have broken yoke bars of wood, but you have made in place of them yoke bars of iron.” 14For thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, to serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and they will serve him, and I have even given the animals#Hebrew “animal” of the open field to him.” ’ ”
15Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, “Please listen, Hananiah, Yahweh has not sent you, and you have made this people trust in a lie. 16Therefore#Literally “To thus” thus says Yahweh, ‘Look, I am going to send you from the face of the earth. This year you will die because you have spoken rebellion against Yahweh.’ ” 17And Hananiah the prophet died in that same year in the seventh month.

Hananiah's False Prophecy
1 #
2 Kgs 24.18-20; 2 Chr 36.11-13. And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedeki´ah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hanani´ah 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, 2Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the Lord's house, that Nebuchadnez´zar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon: 4and I will bring again to this place Jeconi´ah the son of Jehoi´akim 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 Hanani´ah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord, 6even 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. 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 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.
10Then Hanani´ah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it. 11And Hanani´ah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnez´zar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12Then the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hanani´ah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13Go and tell Hanani´ah, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. 14For 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 Nebuchadnez´zar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also. 15Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hanani´ah the prophet, Hear now, Hanani´ah; The Lord hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. 16Therefore 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.
17So Hanani´ah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
