1 That same year, in (the beginning of) the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, the prophet Hananiah, son of Azzur, from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people:
2 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3 Within two years I will restore to this place all the vessels of the temple of the LORD which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took away from this place to Babylon.
4 And I will bring back to this place Jeconiah, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah who went to Babylon,' says the LORD. 'for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'"
5 The prophet Jeremiah answered the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people assembled in the house of the LORD,
6 and said: Amen! thus may the LORD do! May he fulfill the things you have prophesied by bringing the vessels of the house of the LORD and all the exiles back from Babylon to this place!
7 But now, listen to what I am about to state in your hearing and the hearing of all the people.
8 From of old, the prophets who were before you and me prophesied war, woe, and pestilence against many lands and mighty kingdoms.
9 But the prophet who prophesies peace is recognized as truly sent by the LORD only when his prophetic prediction is fulfilled.
10 Thereupon the prophet Hananiah took the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, broke it,
11 and said in the presence of all the people: "Thus says the LORD: 'Even so, within two years I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, from off the neck of all the nations.'" At that, the prophet Jeremiah went away.
12 Some time after the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
13 Go tell Hananiah this: Thus says the LORD: By breaking a wooden yoke, you forge an iron yoke!
14 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: A yoke of iron I will place on the necks of all these nations serving Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and they shall serve him; even the beasts of the field I give him.
15 To the prophet Hananiah the prophet Jeremiah said: Hear this, Hananiah! The LORD has not sent you, and you have raised false confidence in this people.
16 For this, says the LORD, I will dispatch you from the face of the earth; this very year you shall die, because you have preached rebellion against the LORD.
17 That same year, in the seventh month, Hananiah the prophet died.

Jeremiah 28 reports the dispute between the prophet Hananias and Jeremiah. Hananias states that God will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar and that the temple utensils that were taken to Babylon would be returned soon. However, Jeremiah warns that these words are false and that captivity in Babylon would last seventy years. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in Jeremiah 28:
Jeremiah 14:14: "Then the Lord said to me, The prophets falsely prophesy in my name; I did not send them, nor give them order, nor spoke to them; false vision, and guessing, and vanity, and the deceit of his heart is what they prophesy you. " The verse warns of the existence of false prophets, such as Hananias, who deceive the people with their false words in the name of God.
Deuteronomy 13:1-3: "If you raise a prophet, or dream dreamer, and to announce you a sign or prodigy, and succeed the sign or prodigy that you have spoken to you, saying, Let us go after other gods, That you have not known, and we serve them; Thou shalt not hear the words of this prophet or dream of dreams; for the Lord your God proves to you, to know if you love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul. " This verse emphasizes the importance of not following false prophets who seek to divert the people from true worship to God.
Jeremiah 14:15: "So thus saith the Lord about the prophets who prophesy in my name, without me having sent them, and say, neither sword or hunger there will be in this earth: these prophets will be consumed by sword and hunger." The verse shows that the false prophets who speak in the name of God without being sent by Him will suffer the consequences of their false words.
Matthew 24:24: "For false Christs and false prophets will be raised, and will make great signs and wonders; in such a way that if possible, they would even deceive the chosen ones." This verse warns of the existence of false prophets who make signs and wonders to deceive people, and states that even Christians can be deceived if they are not aware.
1 John 4:1: "Beloved, do not believe the whole Spirit, but prove whether the spirits are of God; for many false prophets have come out around the world." The verse urges Christians to test spirits to verify that messages and teachings are indeed from God, for many false prophets are acting in the world.
