  • Jer 28:1-9 : 1 In the same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah son of Azzur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the LORD, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying: 2 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.' 3 Within two years, I will bring back to this place all the articles of the LORD's house that Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took from here and carried to Babylon. 4 I will also bring back to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, along with all the exiles of Judah who went to Babylon,' declares the LORD, 'for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.' 5 Then the prophet Jeremiah responded to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people standing in the house of the LORD. 6 The prophet Jeremiah said, 'Amen! May the LORD do so! May the LORD fulfill the words you have prophesied by bringing back the articles of the LORD's house and all the exiles from Babylon to this place.' 7 Nevertheless, listen now to this word I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people: 8 The prophets who came before me and you from ancient times prophesied against many nations and great kingdoms of war, disaster, and plague. 9 But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the LORD only if his word comes to pass. 10 Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and broke it. 11 And Hananiah declared in the presence of all the people, saying, 'This is what the LORD says: Within two years, I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, from the necks of all the nations.' 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, saying: 13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, 'This is what the LORD says: You have broken wooden yokes, but in their place you have made iron yokes.' 14 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'I have placed an iron yoke on the neck of all these nations, to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control over the beasts of the field.' 15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, 'Listen now, Hananiah, the LORD has not sent you, but you have led this people to trust in falsehood.' 16 Therefore, this is what the LORD says: 'I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. You will die this year because you have preached rebellion against the LORD.' 17 And the prophet Hananiah died that same year, in the seventh month.

  • Ezek 1:1 : 1 In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
  • Ezek 1:3 : 3 The word of the LORD came to Ezekiel, son of Buzi, the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans by the Kebar River, and there the hand of the LORD was upon him.
