1 In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, near the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiahof Judah, the prophet Hananiahson of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people: 2 "This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two years I will restore to this place all the articles of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzarking of Babylonremoved from here and carried to Babylon. 4 And I will restore to this place Jeconiah28:4 Jeconiah is a variant of Jehoiachin; see 2 Kings 24:12.son of Jehoiakimking of Judah, along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’"
5 Then the prophet Jeremiahreplied to the prophet Hananiahin the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD. 6 "Amen!" Jeremiahsaid. "May the LORD do so! May the LORD fulfill the words you have prophesied, and may He restore the articles of His house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.
7 Nevertheless, listen now to this message I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. 8 The prophets of old who preceded you and me prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great kingdoms. 9 As for the prophet who prophesies peace, only if the word of the prophet comes true will the prophet be recognized as one the LORD has truly sent."
10 Then the prophet Hananiahtook the yoke off the neck of Jeremiahthe prophet and broke it. 11 And in the presence of all the people Hananiahproclaimed, "This is what the LORD says: ‘In this way, within two years I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzarking of Babylonoff the neck of all the nations.’"
At this, Jeremiahthe prophet went on his way. 12 But shortly after Hananiahthe prophet had broken the yoke off his neck, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 13 "Go and tell Hananiahthat this is what the LORD says: ‘You have broken a yoke of wood, but in its place you have fashioned a yoke of iron.’
14 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzarking of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control of the beasts of the field.’"
15 Then the prophet Jeremiahsaid to the prophet Hananiah, "Listen, Hananiah! The LORD did not send you, but you have persuaded this people to trust in a lie. 16 Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. You will die this year because you have preached rebellion against the LORD.’"
17 And in the seventh month of that very year, the prophet Hananiahdied.
