Yirmeyahu 28:1-11 ירמיהו כ״ח:א׳-י״א

And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Żidqiyya king of Yehuda, in the fourth year and in the fifth month, that Ḥananya the son of Azur the prophet, who was of Giv῾on, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, the God of Yisra᾽el, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Bavel.

Within two full years will I bring again to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, that Nevukhadneżżar king of Bavel took away from this place, and carried them to Bavel:

And I will bring again to this place Yekhonya the son of Yehoyaqim, king of Yehuda, with all the captives of Yehuda, that went into Bavel, says the Lord: for I will break the yoke of the king of Bavel.

Then the prophet Yirmeya said to the prophet Ḥananya in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord,

and the prophet Yirmeya said, Amen: the Lord do so: the Lord perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the Lord’s house, and all that were carried away captive, from Bavel to this place.

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

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.

As for the prophet who prophesies for peace, when the word of that prophet shall come to pass, then shall it be known that the Lord has truly sent the prophet.

Then Ḥananya the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Yirmeya’s neck, and broke it.

And Ḥananya spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus said the Lord; Even so will I break the yoke of Nevukhadneżżar king of Bavel from the neck of all the nations within the space of two years. And the prophet Yirmeya went his way.
