AND it happen in the same year, at the beginning of te reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and of all the people saying, "Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: 'I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon / the scepter of the rulers of the earth. 'Within two full years I will bring back to this place all the vessel the LORD'S house, that Nebucnadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. 'And I will bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiaakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah who went to Babylon,' says the LORD, 'for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon /  the beast / perdition / Egypt of the earth.' " Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priest and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of LORD, And the prophet Jeremiah said, "Amen! The LORD do so; the LORD perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the LORD'S house and all who were carried away captive, from Babylon to this place. "Nevertheless hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people:  "The prophets who have been before me and before you old prophesied against many counteries and great kingdoms - of war and disaster and pestilence. "As for the prophet who prophesied of peace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, the prophet will be known as one whom the LORD has truly sent." Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke of the prophet Jeremiah's neck and broke it. And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, "Thus says the LORD: 'Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations which within the space of two full year.' "And the prophet Jeremaiah went his way.  Now the word of the LORD came to Jeremaih, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of the prophet Jeremaih, saying, "Go and tell Hananiah, saying, 'Thus says the LORD: "You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have made their place yokes of iron." 'For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babyoln; and they shall serve him. I have given him the beasts of the field also." ' " Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, "Hear now, Hananiah, the LORD has not sent you, but you make this people trust lie. "Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, because you have taught rebellion against the LORD. So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. JEREMIAH 28:1-17

                                                   For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will choose Israel, and settle them in their own land. The strangers will be joined with them, and they will cling with to the house of Jacob. Then people will take them and bring them to their places, and the house of Israel will possess them for servants and maids in the land of the LORD; they will take them captive whose captives they were, and rule over their oppressors. It shall come to pass in the day the LORD give you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear and hard bondage in which you were made to serve, That you will take up this proverb against the king of Babylon of earth, and say: "How the oppressor has ceased, the golden city ceased! The LORD has broken the staff / yoke of earth of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers;  He who struck the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he who ruled the nation in anger, is persucuted and no one hinders. The whole earth is at rest and quiet; they break forth into singing. Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you, and the cedar of Lebanon, saying, 'Since you were cut down, no woodsman has come up against us.' "Hell from beneath is excited about you, to meet you at your coming; it stirs up the dead for you, all the chief one of the earth; it has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. They all shall speak and say to you: 'Have you also become as weak as we? Have you become like us? Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, and the sound of your stringed instruments; the maggot is spread under you, and worm cover you.' Isaiah 14:1-11
