Dual Panel1Now in the same<1931> year<8141>, in the beginning<7225> of the reign<4467> of Zedekiah<6667> king<4428> of Judah<3063>, in the fourth<7243> year<8141>, in the fifth<2549> month<2320>, Hananiah<2608> the son<1121> of Azzur<5809>, the prophet<5030>, who<834> was from Gibeon<1391>, spoke<559> to me in the house<1004> of the LORD<3068> in the presence<5869> of the priests<3548> and all<3605> the people<5971>, saying<559>,
2"Thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068> of hosts<6635>, the God<430> of Israel<3478>, 'I have broken<7665> the yoke<5923> of the king<4428> of Babylon<894>.
3'Within<5750> two<8145> years<8141> I am going to bring<7725> back<7725> to this<2088> place<4725> all<3605> the vessels<3627> of the LORD'S<3068> house<1004>, which<834> Nebuchadnezzar<5019> king<4428> of Babylon<894> took<3947> away<3947> from this<2088> place<4725> and carried<935> to Babylon<894>.
4'I am also going to bring<7725> back<7725> to this<2088> place<4725> Jeconiah<3204> the son<1121> of Jehoiakim<3079>, king<4428> of Judah<3063>, and all<3605> the exiles<1546> of Judah<3063> who went<935> to Babylon<894>,' declares<5002> the LORD<3068>, 'for I will break<7665> the yoke<5923> of the king<4428> of Babylon<894>.'"
5Then the prophet<5030> Jeremiah<3414> spoke<559> to the prophet<5030> Hananiah<2608> in the presence<5869> of the priests<3548> and in the presence<5869> of all<3605> the people<5971> who were standing<5975> in the house<1004> of the LORD<3068>,
6and the prophet<5030> Jeremiah<3414> said<559>, "Amen<543>! May the LORD<3068> do<6213> so<3651>; may the LORD<3068> confirm<6965> your words<1697> which<834> you have prophesied<5012> to bring<7725> back<7725> the vessels<3627> of the LORD'S<3068> house<1004> and all<3605> the exiles<1473>, from Babylon<894> to this<2088> place<4725>.
7"Yet<389> hear<8085> now<4994> this<2088> word<1697> which<834> I am about to speak<1696> in your hearing<241> and in the hearing<241> of all<3605> the people<5971>!
8"The prophets<5030> who<834> were before<6440> me and before<6440> you from ancient<5769> times<5769> prophesied<5012> against<413> many<7227> lands<776> and against<5921> great<1419> kingdoms<4467>, of war<4421> and of calamity<7463> and of pestilence<1698>.
9"The prophet<5030> who<834> prophesies<5012> of peace<7965>, when the word<1697> of the prophet<5030> comes<935> to pass<935>, then that prophet<5030> will be known<3045> as one whom<834> the LORD<3068> has truly<571> sent<7971>."
10Then Hananiah<2608> the prophet<5030> took<3947> the yoke<4133> from the neck<6677> of Jeremiah<3414> the prophet<5030> and broke<7665> it.
11Hananiah<2608> spoke<559> in the presence<5869> of all<3605> the people<5971>, saying<559>, "Thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068>, 'Even<3602> so<3602> will I break<7665> within<5750> two<8145> full<3117> years<8141> the yoke<5923> of Nebuchadnezzar<5019> king<4428> of Babylon<894> from the neck<6677> of all<3605> the nations<1471>.'" Then the prophet<5030> Jeremiah<3414> went<1980> his way<1870>.
12The word<1697> of the LORD<3068> came<1961> to Jeremiah<3414> after<310> Hananiah<2608> the prophet<5030> had broken<7665> the yoke<4133> from off<5921> the neck<6677> of the prophet<5030> Jeremiah<3414>, saying<559>,
13"Go<1980> and speak<559> to Hananiah<2608>, saying<559>, 'Thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068>, "You have broken<7665> the yokes<4133> of wood<6086>, but you have made<6213> instead<8478> of them yokes<4133> of iron<1270>."
14'For thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068> of hosts<6635>, the God<430> of Israel<3478>, "I have put<5414> a yoke<5923> of iron<1270> on the neck<6677> of all<3605> these<428> nations<1471>, that they may serve<5647> Nebuchadnezzar<5019> king<4428> of Babylon<894>; and they will serve<5647> him. And I have also<1571> given<5414> him the beasts<2421> of the field<7704>."'"
15Then Jeremiah<3414> the prophet<5030> said<559> to Hananiah<2608> the prophet<5030>, "Listen<8085> now<4994>, Hananiah<2608>, the LORD<3068> has not sent<7971> you, and you have made this<2088> people<5971> trust<982> in a lie<8267>.
16"Therefore<3651> thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068>, 'Behold<2009>, I am about to remove<7971> you from the face<6440> of the earth<127>. This year<8141> you are going to die<4191>, because<3588> you have counseled<1696> rebellion<5627> against<413> the LORD<3068>.'"
17So Hananiah<2608> the prophet<5030> died<4191> in the same<1931> year<8141> in the seventh<7637> month<2320>.
