Jeremiah 28:10-17

10Then the prophet Hananiah removed the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah. He broke it into pieces.

11He said in front of all the people, ‘The Lord says, “That shows how I will break the yoke of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. He has put his yoke around the necks of all the nations. In less than two years I will break his yoke and I will remove it from their necks.” ’ After Hananiah said that, the prophet Jeremiah went away from the temple.

12Soon after Hananiah had broken the yoke that was on Jeremiah's neck, the Lord spoke again to Jeremiah.

13He said, ‘Go to Hananiah and tell him that the Lord says, “It is true that you have broken a wooden yoke. But instead of that you will get a yoke that is made from iron!

14Yes, the Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says this: I have put an iron yoke around the necks of all those nations. They will have to serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon as his slaves. Everything will be under his power, even the wild animals.” ’

15Then Jeremiah said to Hananiah, ‘Listen to me, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you as his prophet. You have spoken lies to these people and they have believed you.

16So the Lord says to you, “I will remove you from this earth. You have taught people to turn against me, the Lord. You will certainly die this year.” ’

17In the seventh month of that same year, the prophet Hananiah died.
