* And it came to pass in the same year , in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah , king of Judah , in the fourth year , in the fifth month , that Hananiah , the son of Azur the prophet , who was of Gibeon , spoke to me in the presence of the priests and of all the people , saying , * Thus saith Jehovah of hosts , the God of Israel : "I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon . * Within two full years will I bring again to this place all the vessels of the house of Jehovah , which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took from this place , and carried to Babylon . * And Jeconiah , the son of Jehoiakim , king of Judah , and all the captives of Judah that went to Babylon , will I bring again to this place , saith Jehovah ; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon ." * Then Jeremiah the prophet spake to Hananiah the prophet , in the presence of the priests , and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of Jehovah . * And Jeremiah the prophet said , Amen ! So may Jehovah do ! May Jehovah fulfill thy words which thou hast prophesied , and bring back the vessels of the house of Jehovah , and all the captives from Babylon to this place ! * Nevertheless , hear now this word , which I speak in thine ears , and in the ears of all the people . * The prophets who have been before me and before thee from ancient times have also prophesied against many nations , and against great kingdoms , of war , of calamity , and of pestilence . * The prophet who prophesieth of peace , when the word of the prophet shall come to pass , then shall he be known as a prophet whom Jehovah hath truly sent . * Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the prophet Jeremiah ’s neck , and broke it . * And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people , saying , Thus saith Jehovah : In this manner will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar , the king of Babylon , from the neck of all the nations , within the space of two full years . And the prophet Jeremiah went his way . * Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah , after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah , saying : * Go and tell Hananiah , saying : Thou hast broken a yoke of wood , but thou shalt make instead of it a yoke of iron . * For thus saith Jehovah of hosts , the God of Israel : A yoke of iron do I put upon the neck of all these nations , that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar , king of Babylon ; and they shall serve him . The beasts of the field also do I give to him . * Jeremiah the prophet said also to Hananiah the prophet : Hear now , Hananiah ! Jehovah hath not sent thee ; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie . * Therefore thus saith Jehovah : Behold , I will cast thee off from the face of the earth . This year thou shalt die ; for thou hast spoken rebellion against Jehovah . * And Hananiah the prophet died in the same year , in the seventh month .
