## Hananiah's Rebellion Against Yahweh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
Now it happened in the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, _that_ Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of Yahweh in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
"Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, 'I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
Within two years I am going to return to this place all the vessels of the house of Yahweh, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
I am also going to return to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah who went to Babylon,' declares Yahweh, 'for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the sight of the priests and in the sight of all the people who were standing in the house of Yahweh,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
and the prophet Jeremiah said, "Amen! May Yahweh do so; may Yahweh establish your words which you have prophesied to return the vessels of the house of Yahweh and all the exiles, from Babylon to this place.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
Yet hear now this word which I am about to speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
The prophets who were before me and before you from ancient times prophesied against many lands and against great kingdoms, of war and of calamity and of pestilence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 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 Yahweh has truly sent."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar of the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
And Hananiah spoke in the sight of all the people, saying, "Thus says Yahweh, '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
|
||
|
|
Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah after Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar of the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
"Go and speak to Hananiah, saying, 'Thus says Yahweh, "You have broken the bars of a yoke _made_ of wood, but you have made in their place the bars of a yoke _made_ of iron."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
For thus says Yahweh 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 even given him the beasts of the field."'"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, "Listen now, Hananiah, Yahweh has not sent you, and you have made this people trust in a lie.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
Therefore thus says Yahweh, 'Behold, I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This year you are going to die because you have spoken rebellion against Yahweh.'"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
So Hananiah the prophet died in the same year in the seventh month.
