Jeremiah, 28

1. That same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, a Gibeonite, spoke as follows to Jeremiah in the Temple of Yahweh in the presence of the priests and of all the people,

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, which [was] of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

2. 'Yahweh Sabaoth, the God of Israel, says this, "I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

2. Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3. In exactly two years' time I shall bring back all the vessels of the Temple of Yahweh which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from here and carried off to Babylon.

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

4. And I shall also bring back Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah and all the exiles of Judah who have gone to Babylon, Yahweh declares, for I shall break the yoke of the king of 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, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

5. The prophet Jeremiah then replied to the prophet Hananiah in front of the priests and all the people present in the Temple of Yahweh.

5. Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,

6. 'So be it!' the prophet Jeremiah said, 'May Yahweh do so! May he fulfil the words that you have prophesied and bring all the vessels of the Temple of Yahweh and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.

6. Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD'S house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.

7. Listen carefully, however, to this word that I am now going to say for you and all the people to hear:

7. Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;

8. From remote times, the prophets who preceded you and me prophesied war, disaster and plague for many countries and for great kingdoms;

8. The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.

9. the prophet who prophesies peace can be recognised as one truly sent by Yahweh only when his word comes true.'

9. The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, [then] shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.

10. The prophet Hananiah then snatched the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and broke it.

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

11. In front of all the people Hananiah then said, 'Yahweh says this, "This is how, in exactly two years' time, I shall break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and take it off the necks of all the nations." ' At this, the prophet Jeremiah went away.

11. And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; 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. After the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke he had snatched off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah,

12. Then the word of the LORD 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 to Hananiah and tell him this, "Yahweh says this: You have broken the wooden yokes only to make iron yokes to replace them!

13. Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.

14. For Yahweh Sabaoth, the God of Israel, says this: An iron yoke is what I now lay on the necks of all these nations to enslave them to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. (They will be enslaved to him; I have even given him the wild animals.)" '

14. For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God 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 beasts of the field also.

15. The prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, 'Listen carefully, Hananiah: Yahweh has not sent you; and thanks to you this people is now relying on what is false.

15. Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.

16. And so, Yahweh says this, "I am going to send you off the face of the earth: you will die this year (since you have preached rebellion against Yahweh)." '

16. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.

17. The prophet Hananiah died the same year, in the seventh month.

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

Fußnoten:

28:1-4 - The prophet Hananiah challenges Jeremiah's word, proclaiming that God would quickly restore the temple furnishings and the nation. His prophecy of immediate prosperity is a false hope that contrasts with Jeremiah's message of judgment (see also 2 Timothy 4:3-4 and Matthew 24:24).

28:5-9 - Jeremiah responds to Hananiah, stating that previous prophets also foretold judgment, and that the true word of God is proven by the fulfillment of prophecy. This highlights the importance of discerning God's true voice and the need to test prophecy (see also 1 John 4:1 and Acts 17:11).

28:10-11 - Hananiah breaks the wooden yoke that Jeremiah had placed as a symbol of Babylonian rule, symbolizing his attempt to break Nebuchadnezzar's rule. His rebellious action, however, does not change God's plans (see also Luke 6:46 and Revelation 6:12-17).

28:12-17 - After Hananiah's falsehood, God reveals to Jeremiah that the prophet would die that year as a sign of his falsehood. This demonstrates the gravity of prophesying in God's name without divine authority and the certainty that God's words will come to pass (see also Deuteronomy 18:20-22 and Matthew 7:21-23).

28:17:00 - Hananiah's death is a reminder that divine truth will prevail over human lies. God's judgment is certain, and false prophets will face the consequences of their lies (see also Jeremiah 23:16-17 and 2 Corinthians 11:13-15).

Jeremiah chapter 28 confronts Hananiah's false prophecy. How to discern between true and false prophets? This crucial text recounts the conflict between Jeremiah and Hananiah over the end of the exile. The chapter demonstrates the fatal consequences of prophesying falsely in the name of God. Jeremiah 28 also reaffirms the veracity of the divine word through Jeremiah. Investigate with us five biblical passages that elucidate the impactful themes of this revealing chapter.

Deuteronomy 18:22: "If what the prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not happen or is fulfilled, that message does not come from the Lord. That prophet spoke with presumption. Don't be afraid of him." - This verse establishes the criteria for distinguishing false prophets, applicable to the confrontation between Jeremiah and Hananiah in Jeremiah 28.

1 Kings 13:18: "The old prophet replied: 'I am also a prophet like you. And an angel said to me, at the command of the Lord, Bring him back with you to his house, that he may eat and drink."' But he was lying to the other."" - This passage shows another example of a false prophet deceiving a true one, similar to the situation in Jeremiah 28.

Ezekiel 13:16: "the prophets of Israel who prophesy about Jerusalem and see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Sovereign Lord." - This verse condemns false prophets who preach peace when there is no peace, similar to Hananiah's message in Jeremiah 28.

2 Timothy 4:3: "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; on the contrary, feeling itching in their ears, according to their own desires they will gather teachers for themselves." - Paul warns against false teachers, echoing Jeremiah's warnings against false prophets in Jeremiah 28.

Proverbs 14:12: "There is a path that seems right to man, but in the end it leads to death." - This proverb reflects the situation of Hananiah in Jeremiah 28, who thought he was right but was mistaken.
