1
And it came to pass the same year[H8141], in the beginning[H7225] of the reign[H4467] of Zedekiah[H6667]king[H4428] of Judah[H3063], in the fourth[H7243]year[H8141], and in the fifth[H2549]month[H2320], that Hananiah[H2608] the son[H1121] of Azur[H5809] the prophet[H5030], which was of Gibeon[H1391], spake[H559] unto me in the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068], in the presence[H5869] of the priests[H3548] and of all the people[H5971], saying[H559],
2
Thus speaketh[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478], saying[H559], I have broken[H7665] the yoke[H5923] of the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894].
3
Within two full[H3117]years[H8141] will I bring again[H7725] into this place[H4725] all the vessels[H3627] of the LORD'S house[H1004], that Nebuchadnezzar[H5019]king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] took away[H3947] from this place[H4725], and carried[H935] them to Babylon[H894]:
4
And I will bring again[H7725] to this place[H4725]Jeconiah[H3204] the son[H1121] of Jehoiakim[H3079]king[H4428] of Judah[H3063], with all the captives[H1546] of Judah[H3063], that went[H935] into Babylon[H894], saith[H5002] the LORD[H3068]: for I will break[H7665] the yoke[H5923] of the king[H4428] of Babylon[H894].
5
Then the prophet[H5030]Jeremiah[H3414]said[H559] unto the prophet[H5030]Hananiah[H2608] in the presence[H5869] of the priests[H3548], and in the presence[H5869] of all the people[H5971] that stood[H5975] in the house[H1004] of the LORD[H3068],
6
Even the prophet[H5030]Jeremiah[H3414]said[H559], Amen[H543]: the LORD[H3068]do[H6213] so: the LORD[H3068]perform[H6965] thy words[H1697] which thou hast prophesied[H5012], to bring again[H7725] the vessels[H3627] of the LORD[H3068]'S house[H1004], and all that is carried away captive[H1473], from Babylon[H894] into this place[H4725].
7
Nevertheless hear[H8085] thou now this word[H1697] that I speak[H1696] in thine ears[H241], and in the ears[H241] of all the people[H5971];
8
The prophets[H5030] that have been before[H6440] me and before[H6440] thee of old[H5769]prophesied[H5012] both against many[H7227]countries[H776], and against great[H1419]kingdoms[H4467], of war[H4421], and of evil[H7451], and of pestilence[H1698].
9
The prophet[H5030] which prophesieth[H5012] of peace[H7965], when the word[H1697] of the prophet[H5030] shall come to pass[H935], then[H227] shall the prophet[H5030] be known[H3045], that the LORD[H3068] hath truly[H571]sent[H7971] him.
10
Then Hananiah[H2608] the prophet[H5030]took[H3947] the yoke[H4133] from off the prophet[H5030] Jeremiah's neck[H6677], and brake[H7665] it.
11
And Hananiah[H2608]spake[H559] in the presence[H5869] of all the people[H5971], saying[H559], Thus saith[H559] the LORD[H3068]; Even so will I break[H7665] the yoke[H5923] of Nebuchadnezzar[H5019]king[H4428] of Babylon[H894] from the neck[H6677] of all nations[H1471] within the space of two full[H3117]years[H8141]. And the prophet[H5030]Jeremiah[H3414]went[H3212] his way[H1870].
12
Then the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came unto Jeremiah[H3414] the prophet[H5030], after[H310] that Hananiah[H2608] the prophet[H5030] had broken[H7665] the yoke[H4133] from off the neck[H6677] of the prophet[H5030]Jeremiah[H3414], saying[H559],
13Go[H1980] and tell[H559]Hananiah[H2608], saying[H559], Thus saith[H559] the LORD[H3068]; Thou hast broken[H7665] the yokes[H4133] of wood[H6086]; but thou shalt make[H6213] for them yokes[H4133] of iron[H1270].
14
For thus saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478]; I have put[H5414] a yoke[H5923] of iron[H1270] upon the neck[H6677] of all these nations[H1471], that they may serve[H5647]Nebuchadnezzar[H5019]king[H4428] of Babylon[H894]; and they shall serve[H5647] him: and I have given[H5414] him the beasts[H2416] of the field[H7704] also.
15
Then said[H559] the prophet[H5030]Jeremiah[H3414] unto Hananiah[H2608] the prophet[H5030], Hear[H8085] now, Hananiah[H2608]; The LORD[H3068] hath not sent[H7971] thee; but thou makest this people[H5971] to trust[H982] in a lie[H8267].
16
Therefore thus saith[H559] the LORD[H3068]; Behold, I will cast[H7971] thee from off the face[H6440] of the earth[H127]: this year[H8141] thou shalt die[H4191], because thou hast taught[H1696]rebellion[H5627] against the LORD[H3068].
17
So Hananiah[H2608] the prophet[H5030]died[H4191] the same year[H8141] in the seventh[H7637]month[H2320].
