of Babylon took away from this place, and carried to Babylon:
028:004 and I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son
of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah,
who went to Babylon, says Yahweh; for I will break the yoke
of the king of Babylon.
028:005 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah
in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all
the people who stood in the house of Yahweh,
028:006 even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: Yahweh do so;
Yahweh perform your words which you have prophesied,
to bring again the vessels of Yahweh's house, and all them
of the captivity, from Babylon to this place.
028:007 Nevertheless hear you now this word that I speak in your ears,
and in the ears of all the people:
028:008 The prophets who have been before me and before you of old
prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms,
of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
028:009 The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet
shall happen, then shall the prophet be known, that Yahweh
has truly sent him.
028:010 Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet

028:014 For thus says Yahweh of Armies, 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 shall serve him:
and I have given him the animals of the field also.
028:015 Then said the prophet Jeremiah to Hananiah the prophet,

028:016 Therefore thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will send you away
from off the surface of the earth: this year you shall die,
because you have spoken rebellion against Yahweh.
028:017 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
