Jeremiah 28:13-17
28:13 “Go and tell Hananiah that the
Lord says,
‘You have indeed broken the wooden yoke. But you have
only succeeded in replacing it with an iron one!
28:14 For the
Lord God of Israel who rules over all
says, “I have put an irresistible yoke of servitude on all these nations
so they will serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. And they will indeed serve him. I have even given him control over the wild animals.”’”
28:15 Then the prophet Jeremiah told the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah! The
Lord did not send you! You are making these people trust in a lie!
28:16 So the
Lord says, ‘I will most assuredly remove
you from the face of the earth. You will die this very year because you have counseled rebellion against the
Lord.’”
28:17 In the seventh month of that very same year the prophet Hananiah died.
