Jeremiah 28:10–17

¹⁰Then Hananiah the prophet took the ^kyoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it. ¹¹And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord; ^eEven so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ^lfrom the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

¹²Then the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken ^kthe yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, ¹³Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. ¹⁴For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; ^mI have put a yoke of iron ^lupon the neck of all these nations, ⁿthat they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and ^oI have given him the beasts of the field also. ¹⁵Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; ^pThe Lord hath not sent thee; but ^pthou makest this people to trust ^qin a lie. ¹⁶Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, ^rbecause thou hast taught rebellion against the Lord. ¹⁷So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
