Jeremiah

Chapter 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,
who was of Gibeon,
spoke unto me in the house of Jehovah/God,
in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying, 2
Thus speaks Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts,
the 'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel, saying,
I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 Within two full years will I bring again into this place
all the vessels of Jehovah/God's house,
that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
took away from this place,
and carried them to Babylon.

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, said Jehovah/God.

For I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

5 Then the prophet Jeremiah
said unto the prophet Hananiah
in the presence of the priests,
and in the presence of all the people
who stood in the house of Jehovah/God, 6
even the prophet Jeremiah said,
'So be it'/'That is doctrine/Truth' {'amen}.

Jehovah/God do so.

Jehovah/God perform your words
which you have prophesied,
to bring again the vessels of Jehovah/God's house,
and all that is carried away captive,
from Babylon into this place.

7 Nevertheless hear you now this word
that I speak in your ears,
and in the ears of all the people; 8~~
The prophets that have been before me
and before you of old
prophesied both against
many countries,
and against great kingdoms,
of war,
and of evil,
and of disease
 {these are three categories of items war is not disease and disease
  is not evil AND war is NOT evil. - there can be evil in war, but war
  is not evil in itself} .

9 The prophet who prophesies of peace,
when the word of the prophet shall come to pass,
then shall the prophet be known,
that Jehovah/God has truly sent him.

10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke
from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.

11 And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying,
Thus said Jehovah/God;
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.

12 Then the word of Jehovah/God
came unto Jeremiah the prophet,
after that Hananiah the prophet
had broken the yoke from off
the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13
Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus said Jehovah/God;
You have broken the yokes of wood;
but you shall make for them yokes of iron.

14 For thus said Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts,
the 'Elohiym/Godhead 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 animal/beasts of the field also.

15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah, the prophet,
Hear now, Hananiah.

Jehovah/God has not sent you;
but you make this people to trust in a lie.

16 Therefore thus said Jehovah/God;
Behold, I will cast you from off the face of the earth.

This year you shall die,
because you have taught rebellion against Jehovah/God.

17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year
in the seventh month.
