Jeremiah 28

Hananiah’s False Prophecy

1Now in the sameH1931 yearH8141, 1in the beginningH7225 of the reignH4467 of 2ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the fourthH7243 yearH8141, in the fifthH2549 monthH2320, 3HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 the sonH1121 of AzzurH5809, whoH834 was from 4GibeonH1391, spokeH559 to me at the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 in the sightH5869 of the priestsH3548 and allH3605 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, 2“5ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: ‘I have brokenH7665 the yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894. 3WithinH5750 twoH8145 yearsH8141 I am going to bringH7725 backH7725 to thisH2088 placeH4725 6allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of the Lord’sH3068 houseH1004, whichH834 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 tookH3947 from thisH2088 placeH4725 and broughtH935 to BabylonH894. 4I am 7also going to bringH7725 backH7725 to thisH2088 placeH4725 8JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and allH3605 the 9exilesH1546 of JudahH3063 who wentH935 to BabylonH894,’ declaresH5002 the LordH3068, ‘for I will breakH7665 the 10yokeH5923 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894.’”

5Then JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 spokeH559 to the prophetH5030 HananiahH2608 in the sightH5869 of the priestsH3548 and in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the peopleH5971 who were standingH5975 at the 11houseH1004 of the LordH3068, 6and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 saidH559, “12AmenH543! May the LordH3068 doH6213 soH3651; may the LordH3068 fulfillH6965 your wordsH1697 whichH834 you have prophesiedH5012, to bringH7725 backH7725 the vesselsH3627 of the Lord’sH3068 houseH1004 and allH3605 the exilesH1473, from BabylonH894 to thisH2088 placeH4725. 7YetH389 13hearH8085 nowH4994 thisH2088 wordH1697 whichH834 I am going to speakH1696 14so that you and allH3605 the peopleH5971 can hearH241 it! 8The prophetsH5030 whoH834 were beforeH6440 me and beforeH6440 you from ancientH5769 timesH5769 also 15prophesiedH5012 againstH413 manyH7227 landsH776 and againstH5921 greatH1419 kingdomsH4467 regarding warH4421, disasterH7463, and plagueH1698. 9As for the prophetH5030 whoH834 prophesiesH5012 of peaceH7965, 16when the wordH1697 of the prophetH5030 comesH935 to passH935, then that prophetH5030 will be knownH3045 as one whomH834 the LordH3068 has trulyH571 sentH7971.”

10Then HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 tookH3947 the 17yokeH4133 from the neckH6677 of JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 and brokeH7665 it. 11HananiahH2608 spokeH559 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “18ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘EvenH3602 soH3602 withinH5750 twoH8145 fullH3117 yearsH8141 I will breakH7665 the yokeH5923 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 from the neckH6677 of allH3605 the nationsH1471.’” Then JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 wentH1980 his wayH1870.

12Then the 19wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 afterH310 HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 had brokenH7665 the yokeH4133 from the neckH6677 of JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, 13“GoH1980 and speakH559 to HananiahH2608, sayingH559, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “You have brokenH7665 the yokesH4133 of woodH6086, but inH8478 their placeH8478 you have madeH6213 20yokesH4133 of ironH1270.” 14For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “I have putH5414 a 21yokeH5923 of ironH1270 on the neckH6677 of allH3605 theseH428 nationsH1471, to serveH5647 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894; and they shall 22serveH5647 him. And 23I have alsoH1571 givenH5414 him the animalsH2421 of the fieldH7704.”’” 15Then JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 saidH559 to HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030, “ListenH8085 nowH4994, HananiahH2608: the LordH3068 has not sentH7971 you, and 24you have made thisH2088 peopleH5971 trustH982 in a lieH8267. 16ThereforeH3651, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘25BeholdH2009, I am going to 26removeH7971 you from the faceH6440 of the earthH127. This yearH8141 you are going to 27dieH4191, becauseH3588 you 28spokeH1696 falselyH5627 againstH413 the LordH3068.’”

17So HananiahH2608 the prophetH5030 diedH4191 in the sameH1931 yearH8141, in the seventhH7637 monthH2320.
