Jeremiah 28:5-17

5Then 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 Yhwh, 6Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: Yhwh do so: Yhwh perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of Yhwh's house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place. 7Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people; 8The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. 9The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that Yhwh hath truly sent him.

10Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it. 11And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith Yhwh; 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.

12Then the word of Yhwh came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith Yhwh; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. 14For thus saith Yhwh of Armies, 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.

15Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; Yhwh hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. 16Therefore thus saith Yhwh; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against Yhwh.1 17So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
