Compare all
7 Nevertheless hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people:
8 The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries and great kingdoms—of war and disaster and pestilence.
9 As for athe prophet who prophesies of bpeace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has truly sent.”  
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the ayoke off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck and broke it.  
11 And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon afrom the neck of all nations within the space of two full years.’ ” And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.  
12 Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
13 “Go and tell Hananiah, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made in their place yokes of iron.”
14 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: a“I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him. bI have given him the beasts of the field also.” ’ ”  
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Hear now, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, but ayou make this people trust in a blie.  
16 Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you shall adie, because you have taught brebellion against the Lord.’ ”  
17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
