Hananiah's
False Prophecy |
|
|
 |
| Jeremiah 28:1 |
|
Now in the same year, in the beginning of the
reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah
the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of
the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:2 |
|
"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel,
'I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:3 |
|
'Within two years I am going to bring back to
this place all the vessels of the LORD'S house, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
took away from this place and carried to Babylon. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:4 |
|
'I am also going to bring back to this place
Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah who
went to Babylon,' declares the LORD, 'for I will break the yoke of the king of
Babylon.'" |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:5 |
|
Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet
Hananiah in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people
who were standing in the house of the LORD, |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:6 |
|
and the prophet Jeremiah said, "Amen! May the
LORD do so; may the LORD confirm your words which you have prophesied to bring
back the vessels of the LORD'S house and all the exiles, from Babylon to this
place. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:7 |
|
"Yet hear now this word which I am about to
speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people! |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:8 |
|
"The prophets who were before me and before
you from ancient times prophesied against many lands and against great kingdoms,
of war and of calamity and of pestilence. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:9 |
|
"The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the
word of the prophet comes to pass, then that prophet will be known as one whom
the LORD has truly sent." |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:10 |
|
Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from
the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:11 |
|
Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people,
saying, "Thus says the LORD, 'Even so will I break within two full years the yoke
of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.'" Then the
prophet Jeremiah went his way. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:12 |
|
The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah after
Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah,
saying, |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:13 |
|
"Go and speak to Hananiah, saying, 'Thus says
the LORD, "You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made instead of them
yokes of iron." |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:14 |
|
'For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of
Israel, "I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they
may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they will serve him. And I have
also given him the beasts of the field."'" |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:15 |
|
Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the
prophet, "Listen now, Hananiah, the LORD has not sent you, and you have made this
people trust in a lie. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:16 |
|
"Therefore thus says the LORD, 'Behold, I am
about to remove you from the face of the earth. This year you are going to die,
because you have counseled rebellion against the LORD.'" |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 28:17 |
|
So Hananiah the prophet died in the same year
in the seventh month. |
