Jeremiah 28:12

Read in context

Jeremiah 28:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.

11 And in the presence of all the people Hananiah proclaimed, “This is what the LORD says: ‘In this way, within two years I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations.’” At this, Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.

12 But shortly after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke off his neck, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

13 “Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the LORD says: ‘You have broken a yoke of wood, but in its place you have fashioned a yoke of iron.’

14 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I have put a yoke of iron 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 of the beasts of the field.’”
