JEREMIAH ยท Chapter 28
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, spoke unto
me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all
the people, saying,
28:2 Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have
broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
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:
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,
says the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
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,
28:6 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD
perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels
of the LORD's house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon
into this place.
28:7 Nevertheless hear you now this word that I speak in your ears,
and in the ears of all the people;
28:8 The prophets that have been before me and before you of old prophesied
both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of
evil, and of pestilence.
28:9 The prophet which prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet
shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD has
truly sent him.
28:10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet
Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.
28:11 And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying,
Thus says 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.
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,
28:13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus says the LORD; You have broken
the yokes of wood; but you shall make for them yokes of iron.
28:14 For thus says 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.
28:15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear
now, Hananiah; The LORD has not sent you; but you make this people to trust
in a lie.
28:16 Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, I will cast you from off
the face of the earth: this year you shall die, because you have taught
rebellion against the LORD.
28:17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
