New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Jeremiah 28
9 The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, then that prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has truly sent."
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.
11 Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, "Thus says the Lord, ’Even so will I break within two full years the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.’" Then the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
13 "Go and speak to Hananiah, saying, ’Thus says the Lord, "You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made instead of them yokes of iron."
14 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, "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. And I have also given him the beasts of the field."’"
15 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, "Listen now, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, and you have made this people trust in a lie.
16 Therefore thus says the Lord, ’Behold, I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This year you are going to die, because you have counseled rebellion against the Lord.’"
17 So Hananiah the prophet died in the same year in the seventh month.
Jeremiah 29
1 Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the rest of the elders of the exile, the priests, the prophets and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
2 (This was after King Jeconiah and the queen mother, the court officials, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem.)
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
