Jeremiah 28:9-17

Thomson(i) 9 As for the prophet who hath prophesied peace; when his word com eth to pass let the people acknowledge him as a prophet whom the Lord hath indeed sent to them." 10 Then in the presence of all the people, Ananias took the yokes from the neck of Jeremias and broke them. 11 And Ananias spoke before all the people, saying, "Thus said the Lord, So will I break the yoke of the king of Babylon from the necks of all the nations." So Jeremias went his way. 12 And there came a word of the Lord to Jeremias, after Ananias had broken the yokes from his neck, saying, 13 "Go and speak to Ananias and say, Thus said the Lord, Thou hast broken wooden yokes; but instead of them I will make yokes of iron. 14 For thus said the Lord, I have put an iron yoke on the neck of all the nations, that they may work for the king of Babylon." 15 Then Jeremias said to Ananias, the Lord hath not sent thee; and thou hast made this people trust in a lie. 16 For this cause thus saith the Lord, "Behold I send thee from the face of the earth. This very year thou shalt die." So he died in the seventh month.
