Jeremiah 28:2

Hananiah’s Falsehood and Doom

1 And ^ait happened in the same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the ^bfourth year and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of ^cAzur the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

2 “Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: ‘I have broken ^athe yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 ^aWithin two full years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon ^btook away from this place and carried to Babylon.

4 And I will bring back to this place¹ Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah who went to Babylon,’ says the Lord, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’ ”

5 Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of the Lord,

6 and the prophet Jeremiah said, ^a“Amen! The Lord do so; the Lord perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the Lord’s house and all who were carried away captive, from Babylon to this place.
