1 In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, early in the reign of Zedekiahking of Judah, the prophet Hananiahson of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the Lordin the presence of the priests and all the people: 2 "This is what the LordAlmighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two years I will bring back to this place all the articles of the Lord’s house that Nebuchadnezzarking of Babylonremoved from here and took to Babylon. 4 I will also bring back to this place Jehoiachin28:4 Hebrew Jeconiah, a variant of Jehoiachinson of Jehoiakimking of Judah and all the other 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 Hananiahbefore the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord. 6 He said, "Amen! May the Lorddo so! May the Lordfulfill the words you have prophesied by bringing the articles of the Lord’s house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon. 7 Nevertheless, listen to what I have to say in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people: 8 From early times the prophets who preceded you and me have prophesied war, disaster and plague against many countries and great kingdoms. 9 But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the Lordonly if his prediction comes true."
10 Then the prophet Hananiahtook the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiahand broke it, 11 and he said before all the people, "This is what the Lordsays: ‘In the same way I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzarking of Babylonoff the neck of all the nations within two years.’ " At this, the prophet Jeremiahwent on his way.
12 After the prophet Hananiahhad broken the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the Lordcame to Jeremiah: 13 "Go and tell Hananiah, ‘This is what the Lordsays: You have broken a wooden yoke, but in its place you will get a yoke of iron. 14 This is what the LordAlmighty, the God of Israel, says: I will put an iron yoke on the necks of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzarking of Babylon, and they will serve him. I will even give him control over the wild animals.’ "
15 Then the prophet Jeremiahsaid to Hananiahthe prophet, "Listen, Hananiah! The Lordhas not sent you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies. 16 Therefore this is what the Lordsays: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die, because you have preached rebellion against the Lord.’ "
17 In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiahthe prophet died.
