Jeremiah 28:10–17

¹⁰Then the prophet Hananiah took the ^xyoke-bars from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke them. ¹¹And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, ^y“Thus says the Lord: ^zEven so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of ^aall the nations within two years.” But Jeremiah the prophet went his way.

¹²Sometime after the prophet ^bHananiah had broken the yoke-bars from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: ¹³“Go, tell Hananiah, ‘Thus says the Lord: You have broken wooden bars, but you have made in their place bars of iron. ¹⁴For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put upon the neck of all these nations ^can iron yoke to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, ^dand they shall serve him, ^efor I have given to him even the beasts of the field.’ ” ¹⁵And Jeremiah the prophet said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah, ^fthe Lord has not sent you, ^gand you have made this people trust in a lie. ¹⁶Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will remove you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, ^hbecause you have uttered rebellion against the Lord.’ ”

¹⁷In that same year, in the seventh month, the prophet Hananiah died.
