Shortly after the prophet Hananiah
had broken the yoke off the neck
of the prophet Jeremiah,
the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:
"Go and tell Hananiah,
'This is what the Lord says:
You have broken a wooden yoke,
but in its place you will get a yoke of iron.
This is what the Lord Almighty,
the God of Israel, says:
I will put an iron yoke
on the necks of all these nations
to make them serve
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
and they will serve him.
I will even give him control over the wild animals.'"
Then the prophet Jeremiah said
to Hananiah the prophet,
"Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you,
yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies.
Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
'I am about to remove you
from the face of the earth.
This very year you are going to die,
because you have preached
rebellion against the Lord.'"
In the seventh month of that same year,
Hananiah the prophet died.
(Jeremiah 28:12-17)
