7 However, listen closely to what I have to say to you and all the people:
8 The prophets who came before you and me long ago prophesied war, disaster, and disease against many lands and great kingdoms.
9 So the prophet who prophesies peace is recognized as one who is actually sent by the Lord only when that prophet’s message is fulfilled."
10 Then the prophet Hananiah took hold of the yoke that was on the prophet Jeremiah’s neck and broke it.
11 He said before all the people, "This is what the Lord says: Just as this yoke has been broken, I will break the yoke of Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar from the neck of all the nations within two years." Then the prophet Jeremiah walked away.
12 Sometime after Hananiah had broken the yoke that was on Jeremiah’s neck, the Lord told him:
13 Go, say to Hananiah, The Lord proclaims: You have broken a wooden yoke, but I will replace it with an iron one.
