JER-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, spake unto me in the house of the LORD,

in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

JER-28:2 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel,

saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

JER-28:3 Within two full years will I 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:

JER-28:4 And 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.

JER-28:5 Then 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,

JER-28:6 Even 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.

JER-28:7 Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in

thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;

JER-28:8 The 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.

JER-28:9 The 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.

JER-28:10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the

prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.

JER-28:11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people,

saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations

within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah

went his way.

JER-28:12 Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah [the

prophet], after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke

from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

JER-28:13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD;

Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them

yokes of iron.

JER-28:14 For 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 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall

serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.

JER-28:15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the

prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but

thou makest this people to trust in a lie.

JER-28:16 Therefore 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.

JER-28:17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the

seventh month.
