The Prophecy
of Jeremias 28
And it came to pass in that year, in the beginning of
the reign of Sedecias king of Juda, in the fourth year,
in the fifth month, that Hananias the son of Azur, a
prophet of Gabaon spoke to me, in the house of the Lord
before the priests, and all the people, saying:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: I have
broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
As yet two years of days, and I will cause all the vessels
of the house of the Lord to be brought back into this
place, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon took away
from this place, and carried them to Babylon.
And I will bring back to this place Jechonias the son
of Joakim king of Juda, and all the captives of Juda,
that are gone to Babylon, saith the Lord: for I will
break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
And Jeremias the prophet said to Hananias the prophet
in the presence of the priests, and in the presence
of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord:
And Jeremias the prophet said: Amen, the Lord do so:
the Lord perform thy words, which thou hast prophesied:
that the vessels may be brought again into the house
of the Lord, and all the captives may return out of
Babylon to this place.
Nevertheless hear this word that I speak in thy ears,
and in the ears of all the people:
The prophets that have been before me, and before thee
from the beginning, and have prophesied concerning many
countries, and concerning great kingdoms, of war, and
of affliction, and of famine.
The prophet that prophesied peace when his word shall
come to pass, the prophet shall be known, whom the Lord
hath sent in truth.
And Hananias the prophet took the chain from the neck
of Jeremias the prophet, and broke it.
And Hananias spoke in the presence of all the people,
saying: Thus saith the Lord: Even so will I break the
yoke of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon after two
full years from off the neck of all the nations.
And Jeremias the prophet went his way. And the word
of the Lord came to Jeremias, after that Hananias the
prophet had broken the chain from off the neck of Jeremias
the prophet, saying:
Go, and tell Hananias: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast
broken chains of wood, and thou shalt make for them
chains of iron.
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, to serve Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and
they shall serve him: moreover also I have given him
the beasts of the earth.
And Jeremias the prophet said to Hananias the prophet:
Hear now, Hananias: the Lord hath not sent thee, and
thou hast made this people to trust in a lie.
Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will send thee
away from off the face of the earth: this year shalt
thou die: for thou hast spoken against the Lord.
And Hananias the prophet died in that year, in the seventh
month. |
