28:1 And it came to pass in the fourth year
of Sedekias king of Juda, in the fifth month, [that] Ananias the false
prophet, the son of Azor, from Gabaon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord,
in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying,
28:2 Thus saith the Lord; I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
28:3 Yet two full years, and I will return into this place the vessels of
the house of the Lord,
28:4 and Jechonias, and the captivity of Juda: for I will break the yoke of
the king of Babylon.
28:5 Then Jeremias spoke to Ananias in the sight of all the people, and in
the sight of the priests that stood in the house of the Lord,
28:6 and Jeremias said, May the Lord indeed do thus; may he confirm thy word
which thou dost prophesy, to return the vessels of the house of the Lord,
and all the captivity, out of Babylon to this place.
28:7 Nevertheless hear ye the word of the Lord which I speak in your ears,
and in the ears of all the people.
28:8 The prophets that were before me and before you of old, also prophesied
over much country, and against great kingdoms, concerning war.
28:9 [As for] the prophet that has prophesied for peace, when the word has
come [to pass], they shall know the prophet whom the Lord has sent them in
truth.
28:10 Then Ananias took the yokes from the neck of Jeremias in the sight of
all the people, and broke them to pieces.
28:11 And Ananias spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus said
the Lord; Thus will I break the yoke of the king of Babylon from the necks
of all the nations. And Jeremias went his way.
28:12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after that Ananias had
broken the yokes off his neck, saying,
28:13 Go and speak to Ananias, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast broken
the yokes of wood; but I will make instead of them yokes of iron.
28:14 For thus said the Lord, I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all
the nations, that they may serve the king of Babylon.
28:15 And Jeremias said to Ananias, The Lord has not sent thee; and thou
hast caused this people to trust in unrighteousness.
28:16 Therefore thus said the Lord: Behold, I [will] cast thee off from the
face of the earth: this year thou shalt die.
28:17 So he died in the seventh month. |
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,
28:2 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have
broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
28:3 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:
28:4 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.
28:5 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,
28:6 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.
28:7 Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in
the ears of all the people;
28:8 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.
28:9 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.
28:10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet
Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.
28:11 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.
28:12 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,
28:13 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.
28:14 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.
28:15 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.
28:16 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.
28:17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. |
