Book 13 : NEVIIM - JEREMIAH - Chapter 028
28:001
And it came to pass 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 Azzur the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke unto me in the
house of HaShem, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying
28:002
'Thus speaketh HaShem of hosts, the G-d of Israel, saying:
I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon
28:003
Within two full years will I bring back into this place all
the vessels of HaShem'S house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away
from this place, and carried them to Babylon
28:004
and I will bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of
Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went to Babylon,
saith HaShem; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
28:005
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 HaShem
28:006
even the prophet Jeremiah said: 'Amen! HaShem do so! HaShem
perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring back the vessels of
HaShem'S house, and all them that are carried away captive, from Babylon unto
this place
28:007
Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine
ears, and in the ears of all the people
28:008
The prophets that have been before me and before thee of
old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and
of evil, and of pestilence
28:009
The prophet that prophesieth of peace, when the word of the
prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that HaShem hath
truly sent him.
28:010
Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the
prophet Jeremiah's neck, and broke it
28:011
And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people,
saying: 'Thus saith HaShem: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king
of Babylon from off the neck of all the nations within two full years.' And the
prophet Jeremiah went his way
28:012
Then the word of HaShem came unto Jeremiah, after that
Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet
Jeremiah, saying
28:013
'Go, and tell Hananiah, saying: Thus saith HaShem: Thou
hast broken the bars of wood; but thou shalt make in their stead bars of iron
28:014
For thus saith HaShem of hosts, the G-d of Israel: I have
put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him; and I have given him
the beasts of the field also.
28:015
Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet:
'Hear now, Hananiah; HaShem hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to
trust in a lie
28:016
'Therefore thus saith HaShem: Behold, I will send thee
away from off the face of the earth; this year thou shalt die, because thou hast
spoken perversion against HaShem.
28:017
So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh
month
