11 Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “the Lord says: ‘Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from off the neck of all the nations within two full years.’” Then the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12 Then the Lord’s word came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
13 “Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, ‘the Lord says, “You have broken the bars of wood, but you have made in their place bars of iron.”
14 For the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel says, “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. I have also given him the animals of the field.”’”
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! the Lord has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie.
16 Therefore the Lord says, ‘Behold, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth. This year you will die, because you have spoken rebellion against the Lord.’”
17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
