And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning
of the reign
of Zedekiah
king
of Judah
, in the fourth
year
, and in the fifth
month
, that Hananiah
the son
of Azur
the prophet
, which was of Gibeon
, spake
unto me in the house
of the LORD
, in the presence
of the priests
and of all the people
, saying
,
Thus speaketh the LORD
of hosts
, the God
of Israel
, saying
, I have broken
the yoke
of the king
of Babylon
.
Within two full years
will I bring again
into this place
all the vessels
of the LORD'S
house
, that Nebuchadnezzar
king
of Babylon
took away
from this place
, and carried
them to Babylon
:
And I will bring again to this place
Jeconiah
the son
of Jehoiakim
king
of Judah
, with all the captives
of Judah
, that went
into Babylon
, saith
the LORD
: for I will break
the yoke
of the king
of Babylon
.
Then 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 the LORD
,
Even the prophet Jeremiah
said
, Amen
: the LORD
do
so: the LORD
perform
thy words
which thou hast prophesied
, to bring again
the vessels
of the LORD'S
house
, and all that is carried away captive
, from Babylon
into this place
.
Nevertheless hear thou now this word
that I speak
in thine ears
, and in the ears
of all the people
;
The 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
.
The prophet which prophesieth
of peace
, when the word
of the prophet
shall come to pass
, then
shall the prophet
be known
, that the LORD
hath truly
sent
him.
Then Hananiah the prophet
took
the yoke
from off the prophet
Jeremiah's
neck
, and brake
it.
And Hananiah spake
in the presence
of all the people
, saying
, Thus saith
the LORD
; 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
.
Then the word of the LORD
came unto Jeremiah
the prophet , after
that Hananiah
the prophet
had broken
the yoke
from off the neck
of the prophet
Jeremiah
, saying
,
Go and tell
Hananiah
, saying
, Thus saith
the LORD
; Thou hast broken
the yokes
of wood
; but thou shalt make
for them yokes
of iron
.
For thus saith the LORD
of hosts
, 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.
Then said the prophet
Jeremiah
unto Hananiah
the prophet
, Hear
now, Hananiah
; The LORD
hath not sent
thee; but thou makest this people
to trust
in a lie
.
Therefore thus saith the LORD
; Behold, I will cast
thee from off the face
of the earth
: this year
thou shalt die
, because thou hast taught
rebellion
against the LORD
.
So Hananiah the prophet
died
the same year
in the seventh
month
.
