2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Within two years I will restore to this place all the articles of the house of the LORD that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and carried to Babylon. |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4And I will restore to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, along with all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the LORD, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’ ” |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6“Amen!” Jeremiah said. “May the LORD do so! May the LORD fulfill the words you have prophesied, and may He restore the articles of His house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon. |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Nevertheless, listen now to this message I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8The prophets of old who preceded you and me prophesied war, disaster, and plague against many lands and great kingdoms. |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9As for the prophet who prophesies peace, only if the word of the prophet comes true will the prophet be recognized as one the LORD has truly sent.” |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11And in the presence of all the people Hananiah proclaimed, “This is what the LORD says: ‘In this way, within two years I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations.’ ” At this, Jeremiah the prophet went on his way. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12But shortly after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke off his neck, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13“Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the LORD says: ‘You have broken a yoke of wood, but in its place you have fashioned a yoke of iron.’ |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control of the beasts of the field.’ ” |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD did not send you, but you have persuaded this people to trust in a lie. |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. You will die this year because you have preached rebellion against the LORD.’ ” |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17And in the seventh month of that very year, the prophet Hananiah died. |
