Jeremiah 28:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ But it is different if a prophet says that people will live safely in peace. We would only agree that the Lord has really sent him if his message becomes true.’

¹⁰ Then the prophet Hananiah removed the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah.^[a] He broke it into pieces. ¹¹ He said in front of all the people, ‘The Lord says, “That shows how I will break the yoke of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. He has put his yoke around the necks of all the nations. In less than two years I will break his yoke and I will remove it from their necks.” ’

After Hananiah said that, the prophet Jeremiah went away from the temple.
