Jeremiah 28

1And it came to pass the same yearH8141, in the beginning of the reignH4467 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the fourthH7243 yearH8141, in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, that HananiahH2608 the sonH1121 of AzzurH5809, the prophetH5030, who wasH1961 of GibeonH1391, spake unto me in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, in the presence of the priestsH3548 and of all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, 2ThusH3541 speaketh Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, I have brokenH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894. 3Within two full yearsH8141 will I bringH935 againH5750 into this placeH4725 all the vesselsH3627 of Jehovah’s houseH1004, that NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947 awayH7725 from this placeH4725, and carried to BabylonH894: 4and I will bringH935 again to this placeH4725 JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, with all the captives of JudahH3063, that wentH935 to BabylonH894, saith Jehovah; for I will breakH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.

5Then the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 saidH559 unto the prophetH5030 HananiahH2608 in the presence of the priestsH3548, and in the presence of all the peopleH5971 that stoodH5975 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah, 6even the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 saidH559, AmenH543: Jehovah do soH3651; Jehovah perform thy wordsH1697 which thou hast prophesiedH5012, to bringH7725 again the vesselsH3627 of Jehovah’s houseH1004, and all them of the captivity, from BabylonH894 unto this placeH4725. 7NeverthelessH389 hearH8085 thou now this wordH1697 that I speakH1696 in thine earsH241, and in the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971: 8The prophetsH5030 that have beenH1961 before me and before thee of old prophesiedH5012 against manyH7227 countries, and against greatH1419 kingdomsH4467, of warH4421, and of evilH7451, and of pestilenceH1698. 9The prophetH5030 that prophesieth of peaceH7965, whenH834 the wordH1697 of the prophetH5030 shall comeH935 to pass, then shall the prophetH5030 be knownH3045, that Jehovah hath truly sentH7971 him. 10Then HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 tookH3947 the bar from off the prophetH5030 Jeremiah’s neckH6677, and brake it. 11And HananiahH2608 spake in the presence of all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Even so will I breakH7665 the yokeH5923 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 within two full yearsH8141 from off the neckH6677 of all the nationsH1471. And the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 went his wayH1870.

12Then the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto JeremiahH3414, after that HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 had brokenH7665 the bar from off the neckH6677 of the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414, sayingH559, 13GoH1980, and tell HananiahH2608, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Thou hast brokenH7665 the barsH4133 of woodH6086; but thou hast madeH6213 in their stead barsH4133 of ironH1270. 14For thusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: I have putH5414 a yokeH5923 of ironH1270 upon the neckH6677 of all these nationsH1471, that they may serveH5647 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and they shall serveH5647 him: and I have givenH5414 him the beasts of the fieldH7704 alsoH1571. 15Then saidH559 the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 unto HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030, HearH8085 now, HananiahH2608: Jehovah hath not sentH7971 thee; but thou makest this peopleH5971 to trustH982 in a lieH8267. 16ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah, Behold, I will sendH7971 thee awayH7971 from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127: this yearH8141 thou shalt dieH4191, because thou hast spokenH1696 rebellionH5627 against Jehovah. 17So HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 diedH4191 the same yearH8141 in the seventhH7637 monthH2320.
