Hananiah’s False Prophecy
28 Now in the same year, (A)in the beginning of the reign of (B)Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, (C)Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was from (D)Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying, 2 “(E)Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two years I am going to bring back to this place (F)all the vessels of the Lord’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. 4 I am (G)also going to bring back to this place (H)Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the (I)exiles of Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I will break the (J)yoke of the king of Babylon.’”
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people who were standing in the (K)house of the Lord, 6 and the prophet Jeremiah said, “(L)Amen! May the Lord do so; may the Lord [a]confirm your words which you have prophesied to bring back the vessels of the Lord’s house and all the exiles, from Babylon to this place. 7 Yet (M)hear now this word which I am about to speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people! 8 The prophets who were before me and before you from ancient times (N)prophesied against many lands and against great kingdoms, of war and of calamity and of pestilence. 9 The prophet who prophesies of peace, (O)when the word of the prophet comes to pass, then that prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has truly sent.”
10 Then Hananiah the prophet took the (P)yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it. 11 Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “(Q)Thus says the Lord, ‘Even so will I break within two full years the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.’” Then the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
12 The (R)word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 13 “Go and speak to Hananiah, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord, “You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made instead of them (S)yokes of iron.” 14 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “I have put a (T)yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they will (U)serve him. And (V)I have also given him the beasts of the field.”’” 15 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen now, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, and (W)you have made this people trust in a lie. 16 Therefore thus says the Lord, ‘(X)Behold, I am about to [b]remove you from the face of the earth. This year you are going to (Y)die, because you have [c](Z)counseled rebellion against the Lord.’”
17 So Hananiah the prophet died in the same year in the seventh month.
Message to the Exiles
29 Now these are the words of the (AA)letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the rest of the elders of the exile, the priests, the prophets and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. 2 (This was after King (AB)Jeconiah and the (AC)queen mother, the court officials, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem.) 3 The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of (AD)Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, saying, 4 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have (AE)sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon, 5 ‘(AF)Build houses and live in them; and plant gardens and eat their [d]produce. 6 Take (AG)wives and [e]become the fathers of sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply there and do not decrease. 7 (AH)Seek the [f]welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and (AI)pray to the Lord on its behalf; for in its [g]welfare you will have [h]welfare.’ 8 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Do not let your (AJ)prophets who are in your midst and your diviners (AK)deceive you, and do not listen to [i](AL)the dreams which [j]they dream. 9 For they (AM)prophesy falsely to you in My name; (AN)I have not sent them,’ declares the Lord.
10 “For thus says the Lord, ‘When (AO)seventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My (AP)good word to you, to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the (AQ)plans that I [k]have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for (AR)welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a (AS)hope. 12 Then you will (AT)call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will (AU)listen to you. 13 You will (AV)seek Me and find Me when you (AW)search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be (AX)found by you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will (AY)restore your [l]fortunes and will (AZ)gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will (BA)bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’
15 “Because you have said, ‘The Lord has raised up (BB)prophets for us in Babylon’— 16 for thus says the Lord concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, your brothers who did (BC)not go with you into exile— 17 thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘Behold, I am sending upon them the (BD)sword, famine and pestilence, and I will make them like (BE)split-open figs that cannot be eaten due to rottenness. 18 I will pursue them with the sword, with famine and with pestilence; and I will (BF)make them a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a (BG)curse and a horror and a (BH)hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them, 19 because they have (BI)not listened to My words,’ declares the Lord, ‘which I sent to them again and again by (BJ)My servants the prophets; but you did not listen,’ declares the Lord. 20 You, therefore, hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles, whom I have (BK)sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
21 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and concerning Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who are (BL)prophesying to you falsely in My name, ‘Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will slay them before your eyes. 22 Because of them a (BM)curse will be [m]used by all the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon, saying, “May the Lord make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon (BN)roasted in the fire, 23 because they have (BO)acted foolishly in Israel, and (BP)have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives and have (BQ)spoken words in My name falsely, which I did not command them; and I am He who (BR)knows and am a witness,” declares the Lord.’”
24 To (BS)Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying, 25 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘Because you have sent (BT)letters in your own name to all the people who are in Jerusalem, and to (BU)Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying, 26 “The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to be the [n](BV)overseer in the house of the Lord over every (BW)madman who (BX)prophesies, to (BY)put him in the stocks and in the iron collar, 27 now then, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of (BZ)Anathoth who prophesies to you? 28 For he has (CA)sent to us in Babylon, saying, ‘The exile will be (CB)long; (CC)build houses and live in them and plant gardens and eat their [o]produce.’”’”
29 (CD)Zephaniah the priest read this letter [p]to Jeremiah the prophet. 30 Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, saying, 31 “Send to (CE)all the exiles, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord concerning (CF)Shemaiah the Nehelamite, “Because Shemaiah has (CG)prophesied to you, although I did not send him, and he has (CH)made you trust in a lie,” 32 therefore thus says the Lord, “Behold, I am about to (CI)punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his [q]descendants; he will (CJ)not have anyone living among this people, (CK)and he will not see the good that I am about to do to My people,” declares the Lord, “because he has [r](CL)preached rebellion against the Lord.”’”
Deliverance from Captivity Promised
30 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, 2 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘(CM)Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book. 3 For behold, (CN)days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will (CO)restore the [s]fortunes of My people (CP)Israel and Judah.’ The Lord says, ‘I will also (CQ)bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.’”
4 Now these are the words which the Lord spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah:
5 “For thus says the Lord,
‘[t]I have heard a sound of (CR)terror,
Of dread, and there is no peace.
6 ‘Ask now, and see
If a male can give birth.
Why do I see every man
With his hands on his loins, (CS)as a woman in childbirth?
And why have all faces turned pale?
7 ‘Alas! for that (CT)day is great,
There is (CU)none like it;
And it is the time of Jacob’s (CV)distress,
But he will be (CW)saved from it.
8 ‘It shall come about on that day,’ declares the Lord of hosts, ‘that I will (CX)break his yoke from off [u]their neck and will tear off [v]their (CY)bonds; and strangers will no longer (CZ)make [w]them their slaves. 9 But they shall serve the Lord their God and (DA)David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 ‘(DB)Fear not, O Jacob My servant,’ declares the Lord,
‘And do not be dismayed, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you (DC)from afar
And your [x]offspring from the land of their captivity.
And Jacob will return and will be (DD)quiet and at ease,
And (DE)no one will make him afraid.
11 ‘For (DF)I am with you,’ declares the Lord, ‘to save you;
For I will (DG)destroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you,
Only I will (DH)not destroy you completely.
But I will (DI)chasten you justly
And will by no means leave you unpunished.’
12 “For thus says the Lord,
‘Your wound is incurable
And your (DJ)injury is serious.
13 ‘There is no one to plead your cause;
No healing for your sore,
(DK)No recovery for you.
14 ‘All your (DL)lovers have forgotten you,
They do not seek you;
For I have (DM)wounded you with the wound of an enemy,
With the (DN)punishment of a (DO)cruel one,
Because your (DP)iniquity is great
And your (DQ)sins are numerous.
15 ‘Why do you cry out over your injury?
Your pain is incurable.
Because your iniquity is great
And your sins are numerous,
I have done these things to you.
16 ‘Therefore all who (DR)devour you will be devoured;
And all your adversaries, every one of them, (DS)will go into captivity;
And those who plunder you will be for plunder,
And all who prey upon you I will give for prey.
17 ‘For I will [y]restore you to [z](DT)health
And I will heal you of your wounds,’ declares the Lord,
‘Because they have called you an (DU)outcast, saying:
“It is Zion; no one [aa]cares for her.”’
Restoration of Jacob
18 “Thus says the Lord,
‘Behold, I will (DV)restore the [ab]fortunes of the tents of Jacob
And (DW)have compassion on his dwelling places;
And the (DX)city will be rebuilt on its ruin,
And the (DY)palace will stand on its rightful place.
19 ‘From them will proceed (DZ)thanksgiving
And the voice of those who [ac](EA)celebrate;
And I will (EB)multiply them and they will not be diminished;
I will also (EC)honor them and they will not be insignificant.
20 ‘[ad]Their children also will be as formerly,
And [ae]their congregation shall be (ED)established before Me;
And I will punish all [af]their oppressors.
21 ‘[ag]Their (EE)leader shall be one of them,
And [ah]their ruler shall come forth from [ai]their midst;
And I will (EF)bring him near and he shall approach Me;
For [aj]who would dare to risk his life to (EG)approach Me?’ declares the Lord.
22 ‘You shall be (EH)My people,
And I will be your God.’”
23 Behold, the (EI)tempest of the Lord!
Wrath has gone forth,
A [ak]sweeping tempest;
It will burst on the head of the wicked.
24 The (EJ)fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back
Until He has performed and until He has accomplished
The intent of His heart;
In the (EK)latter days you will understand this.

New International Version
The False Prophet Hananiah
28 In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, early in the reign of Zedekiah(A) king of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon,(B) said to me in the house of the Lord in the presence of the priests and all the people: 2 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will break the yoke(C) of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two years I will bring back to this place all the articles(D) of the Lord’s house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and took to Babylon. 4 I will also bring back to this place Jehoiachin[a](E) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and all the other exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,’ declares the Lord, ‘for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.’”(F)
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah before the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord. 6 He said, “Amen! May the Lord do so! May the Lord fulfill the words you have prophesied by bringing the articles of the Lord’s house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.(G) 7 Nevertheless, listen to what I have to say in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people: 8 From early times the prophets who preceded you and me have prophesied war, disaster and plague(H) against many countries and great kingdoms. 9 But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the Lord only if his prediction comes true.(I)”
10 Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke(J) off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and broke it, 11 and he said(K) before all the people, “This is what the Lord says: ‘In the same way I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations within two years.’” At this, the prophet Jeremiah went on his way.
12 After the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 13 “Go and tell Hananiah, ‘This is what the Lord says: You have broken a wooden yoke, but in its place you will get a yoke of iron. 14 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will put an iron yoke(L) on the necks of all these nations to make them serve(M) Nebuchadnezzar(N) king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I will even give him control over the wild animals.(O)’”
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent(P) you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies.(Q) 16 Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘I am about to remove you from the face of the earth.(R) This very year you are going to die,(S) because you have preached rebellion(T) against the Lord.’”
17 In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died.(U)
A Letter to the Exiles
29 This is the text of the letter(V) that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets and all the other people Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.(W) 2 (This was after King Jehoiachin[b](X) and the queen mother,(Y) the court officials and the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the skilled workers and the artisans had gone into exile from Jerusalem.) 3 He entrusted the letter to Elasah son of Shaphan and to Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It said:
4 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried(Z) into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 “Build(AA) houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease.(AB) 7 Also, seek(AC) the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray(AD) to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” 8 Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let the prophets(AE) and diviners among you deceive(AF) you. Do not listen to the dreams(AG) you encourage them to have.(AH) 9 They are prophesying lies(AI) to you in my name. I have not sent(AJ) them,” declares the Lord.
10 This is what the Lord says: “When seventy years(AK) are completed for Babylon, I will come to you(AL) and fulfill my good promise(AM) to bring you back(AN) to this place. 11 For I know the plans(AO) I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper(AP) you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.(AQ) 12 Then you will call(AR) on me and come and pray(AS) to me, and I will listen(AT) to you. 13 You will seek(AU) me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.(AV) 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back(AW) from captivity.[c] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”(AX)
15 You may say, “The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon,” 16 but this is what the Lord says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your fellow citizens who did not go with you into exile— 17 yes, this is what the Lord Almighty says: “I will send the sword, famine and plague(AY) against them and I will make them like figs(AZ) that are so bad they cannot be eaten. 18 I will pursue them with the sword, famine and plague and will make them abhorrent(BA) to all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse[d](BB) and an object of horror,(BC) of scorn(BD) and reproach, among all the nations where I drive them. 19 For they have not listened to my words,”(BE) declares the Lord, “words that I sent to them again and again(BF) by my servants the prophets.(BG) And you exiles have not listened either,” declares the Lord.
20 Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles whom I have sent(BH) away from Jerusalem to Babylon. 21 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying lies(BI) to you in my name: “I will deliver them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your very eyes. 22 Because of them, all the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the Lord treat you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon burned(BJ) in the fire.’ 23 For they have done outrageous things in Israel; they have committed adultery(BK) with their neighbors’ wives, and in my name they have uttered lies—which I did not authorize. I know(BL) it and am a witness(BM) to it,” declares the Lord.
Message to Shemaiah
24 Tell Shemaiah the Nehelamite, 25 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You sent letters in your own name to all the people in Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah(BN) son of Maaseiah, and to all the other priests. You said to Zephaniah, 26 ‘The Lord has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada to be in charge of the house of the Lord; you should put any maniac(BO) who acts like a prophet into the stocks(BP) and neck-irons. 27 So why have you not reprimanded Jeremiah from Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you? 28 He has sent this message(BQ) to us in Babylon: It will be a long time.(BR) Therefore build(BS) houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.’”
29 Zephaniah(BT) the priest, however, read the letter to Jeremiah the prophet. 30 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 31 “Send this message to all the exiles: ‘This is what the Lord says about Shemaiah(BU) the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, even though I did not send(BV) him, and has persuaded you to trust in lies, 32 this is what the Lord says: I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants.(BW) He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good(BX) things I will do for my people, declares the Lord, because he has preached rebellion(BY) against me.’”
Restoration of Israel
30 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write(BZ) in a book all the words I have spoken to you. 3 The days(CA) are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will bring(CB) my people Israel and Judah back from captivity[e] and restore(CC) them to the land I gave their ancestors to possess,’ says the Lord.”
4 These are the words the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah: 5 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘Cries of fear(CD) are heard—
terror, not peace.
6 Ask and see:
Can a man bear children?
Then why do I see every strong man
with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor,(CE)
every face turned deathly pale?(CF)
7 How awful that day(CG) will be!
No other will be like it.
It will be a time of trouble(CH) for Jacob,
but he will be saved(CI) out of it.
8 “‘In that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty,
‘I will break the yoke(CJ) off their necks
and will tear off their bonds;(CK)
no longer will foreigners enslave them.(CL)
9 Instead, they will serve the Lord their God
and David(CM) their king,(CN)
whom I will raise up for them.
10 “‘So do not be afraid,(CO) Jacob my servant;(CP)
do not be dismayed, Israel,’
declares the Lord.
‘I will surely save(CQ) you out of a distant place,
your descendants from the land of their exile.
Jacob will again have peace and security,(CR)
and no one will make him afraid.(CS)
11 I am with you(CT) and will save you,’
declares the Lord.
‘Though I completely destroy all the nations
among which I scatter you,
I will not completely destroy(CU) you.
I will discipline(CV) you but only in due measure;
I will not let you go entirely unpunished.’(CW)
12 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘Your wound(CX) is incurable,
your injury beyond healing.(CY)
13 There is no one to plead your cause,(CZ)
no remedy for your sore,
no healing(DA) for you.
14 All your allies(DB) have forgotten you;
they care nothing for you.
I have struck you as an enemy(DC) would
and punished you as would the cruel,(DD)
because your guilt is so great
and your sins(DE) so many.
15 Why do you cry out over your wound,
your pain that has no cure?(DF)
Because of your great guilt and many sins
I have done these things to you.(DG)
16 “‘But all who devour(DH) you will be devoured;
all your enemies will go into exile.(DI)
Those who plunder(DJ) you will be plundered;
all who make spoil of you I will despoil.
17 But I will restore you to health
and heal(DK) your wounds,’
declares the Lord,
‘because you are called an outcast,(DL)
Zion for whom no one cares.’(DM)
18 “This is what the Lord says:
“‘I will restore the fortunes(DN) of Jacob’s tents(DO)
and have compassion(DP) on his dwellings;
the city will be rebuilt(DQ) on her ruins,
and the palace will stand in its proper place.
19 From them will come songs(DR) of thanksgiving(DS)
and the sound of rejoicing.(DT)
I will add to their numbers,(DU)
and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honor,(DV)
and they will not be disdained.
20 Their children(DW) will be as in days of old,
and their community will be established(DX) before me;
I will punish(DY) all who oppress them.
21 Their leader(DZ) will be one of their own;
their ruler will arise from among them.(EA)
I will bring him near(EB) and he will come close to me—
for who is he who will devote himself
to be close to me?’
declares the Lord.
22 “‘So you will be my people,(EC)
and I will be your God.(ED)’”
