Hananiah’s Falsehood and Doom
1 And Jer. 27:1it happened in the same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the Jer. 51:59fourth year and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Ezek. 11:1Azur the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, 2 "Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: ‘I have broken Jer. 27:12the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 Jer. 27:16Within two full years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 2 Kin. 24:13; Dan. 1:2took away from this place and carried to Babylon.
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, "Hear now, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, but Jer. 20:6; 29:31; Lam. 2:14; Ezek. 13:22; Zech. 13:3you make this people trust in a Jer. 27:10; 29:9lie. 16 Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you shall Jer. 20:6die, because you have taught Deut. 13:5; Jer. 29:32rebellion against the Lord.’ "
17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
