Jeremiah (52 chapters)
Jeremiah 28
1
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,
2
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken
the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3
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:
4
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.
5
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,
6
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.
7
Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in
the ears of all the people;
8
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.
9
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.
10
Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's
neck, and brake it.
11
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.
12
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,
13
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.
14
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.
15
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.
16
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.
17
So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
