Jeremiah 28:1-9

1In the fifthH2549 monthH2320 of that sameH1931 yearH8141, the fourthH7243 yearH8141, near the beginningH7225 of the reignH4467 of KingH4428 ZedekiahH6667 of JudahH3063, the prophetH5030 HananiahH2608 sonH1121 of AzzurH5809, who was from GibeonH1391, saidH559 to meH413 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 in the presenceH5869 of the priestsH3548 and allH3605 the peopleH5971: 2“This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478H559, saysH559: ‘I have brokenH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894. 3Within two yearsH8141H3117 IH589 will restoreH7725 toH413 thisH2088 placeH4725 allH3605 the articlesH3627 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 thatH834 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 removedH3947 fromH4480H4725 hereH2088 and carriedH935 to BabylonH894. 4AndH853 IH589 will restoreH7725 toH413 thisH2088 placeH4725 JeconiahH32041 sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, along withH853 allH3605 the exilesH1546 from JudahH3063 who wentH935 to BabylonH894,’ declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, ‘forH3588 I will breakH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.’”

5Then the prophetH5030 JeremiahH3414 repliedH559 toH413 the prophetH5030 HananiahH2608 in the presenceH5869 of the priestsH3548H5869 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 who were standingH5975 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 6“AmenH543!” JeremiahH3414 saidH559. “May the LORDH3068 doH6213 soH3651! May the LORDH3068 fulfillH6965 the wordsH1697 you have prophesiedH5012, and may He restoreH7725 the articlesH3627 ofH3068 His houseH1004 and allH3605 the exilesH1473 backH413 to thisH2088 placeH4725 from BabylonH894.

7NeverthelessH389, listenH8085 nowH4994 to thisH2088 messageH1697 IH595 am speakingH1696 in your hearingH241 and in the hearingH241 of allH3605 the peopleH5971. 8The prophetsH5030 of oldH5769 whoH834 precededH1961H6440 youH4480 and meH6440 prophesiedH5012 warH4421, disasterH7451, and plagueH1698 againstH413 manyH7227H5921 landsH776 and greatH1419 kingdomsH4467. 9As for the prophetH5030 whoH834 prophesiesH5012 peaceH7965, only if the wordH1697 of the prophetH5030 comes trueH935 will the prophetH5030 be recognizedH3045 as one the LORDH3068 has trulyH571 sentH7971.”
