Chapter 28
Jere Jubilee2 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, spoke unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
Jere Jubilee2 28:2  Thus hath the LORD of the hosts the God of Israel spoken, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Jere Jubilee2 28:3  Within two full years I will 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:
Jere Jubilee2 28:4  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.
Jere Jubilee2 28:5  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,
Jere Jubilee2 28:6  therefore the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD confirm thy words with which thou hast prophesied that the vessels of the LORD'S house and all those that are carried away captive are to be returned from Babylon unto this place.
Jere Jubilee2 28:7  Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears and in the ears of all the people,
Jere Jubilee2 28:8  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.
Jere Jubilee2 28:9  The prophet which prophesied of peace, when the word of the prophet should come to pass, [then] shall the prophet be known, that the LORD has truly sent him.
Jere Jubilee2 28:10  Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck and broke it.
Jere Jubilee2 28:11  And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus hath the LORD said: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the Gentiles within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
Jere Jubilee2 28:12  And after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
Jere Jubilee2 28:13  Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus hath the LORD said: Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make yokes of iron instead.
Jere Jubilee2 28:14  For thus hath the LORD of the hosts the God of Israel said: I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these Gentiles, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him; and I have even given him the beasts of the field.
Jere Jubilee2 28:15  Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD has not sent thee; and thou hast made this people to trust in a lie.
Jere Jubilee2 28:16  Therefore thus hath the LORD said; Behold, I will send thee away from upon the face of the earth; this year thou shalt die because thou hast spoken rebellion against the LORD.
Jere Jubilee2 28:17  So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.:
