Hananiah breaks the yoke

And in the same year, at the start of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and the fifth month, Hananiah son of Azur the prophet from Gibeon spoke to me in the house of the LORD before the priests and all the people: This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says. I've broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. Within two full years I'll bring back into this place all the vessels of the LORD's house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took out of this place and carried to Babylon. And I'll bring back to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and everyone carried off from Judah who went to Babylon, declares the LORD — because I'll break the yoke of the king of Babylon. Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet before the priests and before all the people standing in the house of the LORD. Jeremiah the prophet said: Amen. May the LORD do it. May the LORD carry out the words you've prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the LORD's house and everyone carried off from Babylon to this place. But listen now to this word I'm speaking in your ears and in the ears of all the people: The prophets before me and before you, from long ago, prophesied against many countries and great kingdoms — about war and trouble and plague. The prophet who prophesies peace is known as a prophet the LORD really sent when the word of that prophet comes true. Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke off Jeremiah the prophet's neck and broke it. And Hananiah spoke before all the people: This is what the LORD says. That's how I'll break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations within two full years. And Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.

And in the same year, at the start of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and the fifth month, Hananiah son of Azzur the prophet from Gibeon spoke to me in the house of the Lord in front of the priests and all the people: This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says. I've broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. Within two full years I'll bring back into this place all the vessels of the Lord's house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took out of this place and carried to Babylon. And I'll bring back to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and everyone carried off from Judah who went to Babylon, declares the Lord — because I'll break the yoke of the king of Babylon. Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet in front of the priests and in front of all the people standing in the house of the Lord. Jeremiah the prophet said: Amen. May the Lord do it. May the Lord carry out the words you've prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the Lord's house and everyone carried off from Babylon to this place. But listen now to this word I'm speaking in your ears and in the ears of all the people: The prophets before me and before you, from long ago, prophesied against plenty of countries and great kingdoms — about war and trouble and plague. The prophet who prophesies peace is known as a prophet the Lord really sent when the word of that prophet comes true. Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke off Jeremiah the prophet's neck and broke it. And Hananiah spoke in front of all the people: This is what the Lord says. That's how I'll break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations within two full years. And Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.

And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon: And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD, Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’s house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place. Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people; The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him. Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and brake it. And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
