all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy
unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD's house shall now shortly be brought again from
Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
[17] Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and
live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
[18] But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD
be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in
the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
[19]
For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the
bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
[20] Which Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah
from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
[21] Yea, thus saith the LORD of
hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house
of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
[22] They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be
until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
Jer.28
[1] 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,
[2]
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
[3]
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:
[4] 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.
[5] 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,
[6] 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.
[7] Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak
in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;
[8] 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.
[9] 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.
[10] Then Hananiah the
prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.
[11] 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.
[12] Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the
prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
[13] Go and tell Hananiah,
saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of
iron.
[14] For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God 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.
[15] Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the
prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a
lie.
[16] Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year
thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.
[17] So Hananiah the prophet died
the same year in the seventh month.
Jer.29
[1] Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue
of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the
people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
[2] (After that Jeconiah
the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters,
and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)
[3] By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and
Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king
