AND it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Tsidqiyahu king of Yahudah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Chananyahu the son of Azzur the prophet, which was of Giv'on, spoke unto me in the house of Yahuah, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
Thus speaks Yahuah Tseva'oth, the Elohai of Yashar'el, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babel.
Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of Yahuah's house, that Nevukadne'tstsar king of Babel took away from this place, and carried them to Babel:
And I will bring again to this place Yekonyahu the son of Yahuyaqiym king of Yahudah, with all the captives of Yahudah, that went into Babel, says Yahuah: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babel.
Then the prophet Yirmeyahu said unto the prophet Chananyahu in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of Yahuah,
Even the prophet Yirmeyahu said, Amein: Yahuah do so: Yahuah perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of Yahuah's house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babel into this place.
Nevertheless hear you now this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people;
The prophets that have been before me and before you of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
The prophet which prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that Yahuah has truly sent him.
Then Chananyahu the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Yirmeyahu's neck, and broke it.
And Chananyahu spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus says Yahuah; Even so will I break the yoke of Nevukadne'tstsar king of Babel from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Yirmeyahu went his way.
Then the Word of Yahuah came unto Yirmeyahu the prophet, after that Chananyahu the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Yirmeyahu, saying,
Go and tell Chananyahu, saying, Thus says Yahuah; You have broken the yokes of wood; but you shall make for them yokes of iron.
For thus says Yahuah Tseva'oth, the Elohai of Yashar'el; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nevukadne'tstsar king of Babel; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.
Then said the prophet Yirmeyahu unto Chananyahu the prophet, Hear now, Chananyahu; Yahuah has not sent you; but you make this people to trust in a lie.
Therefore thus says Yahuah; Behold, I will cast you from off the face of the earth: this year you shall die, because you have taught rebellion against Yahuah.
So Chananyahu the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
