And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
the same: Jeremiah 27:1

Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:

And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
I will bring: This was doubtless grateful news to the people, who looked upon Zedekiah only as Nebuchadnezzar's deputy. Hananiah seems to have been more desirous of popular than regal favour; for this prediction could not be altogether agreeable to Zedekiah. But he was evidently a weak as well as a wicked prince, and very generally despised.
Jeconiah: Jeremiah 22:24, Jeremiah 22:28, Coniah, Jeremiah 24:1, Jeremiah 52:31-34, 2 Kings 25:27-30, Jehoiachin

the house: Jeremiah 28:1, Jeremiah 7:2, Jeremiah 19:14, Jeremiah 26:2
Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD's house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.
Amen: Numbers 5:22, Deuteronomy 27:15-26, 1 Kings 1:36, 1 Chronicles 16:36, Psalms 41:13, Psalms 72:19, Psalms 89:52, Psalms 106:48, Matthew 6:13, Matthew 28:20, 1 Corinthians 14:16, 2 Corinthians 1:20, Revelation 1:18, Revelation 3:14, Revelation 5:14, Revelation 19:4, Revelation 22:20, Revelation 22:21

Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;
The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
The prophets: As Hosea, Joel, Amos, Isaiah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and others, all of whom had denounced similar evils against a corrupt people. So that they who opposed Jeremiah also opposed those who preceded him; and it was altogether unprecedented for a true prophet to promise deliverance to a guilty nation, without calling them to repentance.
prophesied: Leviticus 26:14-46, Deuteronomy 4:26, Deuteronomy 4:27, Deuteronomy 28:15-68, Deuteronomy 29:18-28, Deuteronomy 31:16, Deuteronomy 31:17, Deuteronomy 32:15-44, 1 Samuel 2:27-32, 1 Samuel 3:11-14, 1 Kings 14:7-15, 1 Kings 17:1, 1 Kings 21:18-24, 1 Kings 22:8, Isaiah 5:1-8, Isaiah 6:9-12, Isaiah 13:18, Isaiah 24:1-23, Joel 1:2-20, Joel 3:1-11, Micah 3:8-12, Nahum 1:1 - Nahum 3:19, Amos 1:2

The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.
which: Jeremiah 4:10, Jeremiah 6:14, Jeremiah 8:11, Jeremiah 14:13, Ezekiel 13:10, Ezekiel 13:16

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.
took: Jeremiah 28:2, Jeremiah 28:4, Jeremiah 27:2, Jeremiah 36:23, Jeremiah 36:24, 1 Kings 22:11, 1 Kings 22:24, 1 Kings 22:25, Malachi 3:13

And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
Thus: Jeremiah 23:17, Jeremiah 29:9, 1 Kings 13:18, 1 Kings 22:6, 1 Kings 22:11, 1 Kings 22:12, 2 Chronicles 18:10, 2 Chronicles 18:22, 2 Chronicles 18:23, Proverbs 14:7, Ezekiel 13:7

Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 1:2, Jeremiah 29:30, 2 Kings 20:4, 1 Chronicles 17:3, Daniel 9:2
Reciprocal: Ezekiel 13:2 - prophesy against Amos 7:17 - Thy wife
Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.
Thou hast: Jeremiah 27:15, Psalms 149:8, Lamentations 2:14
thou shalt: By encouraging an unavailing resistance to Nebuchadnezzar.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.

Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.
The Lord: This was a bold speech, in the presence of those priests and people who were prejudiced in favour of the false prophets, who prophesied to them smooth things. Jeremiah 28:11, Jeremiah 14:14, Jeremiah 14:15, Jeremiah 23:21, Jeremiah 27:15, Jeremiah 29:23, Jeremiah 29:31, Jeremiah 29:32, 1 Kings 22:23, Ezekiel 13:2, Ezekiel 13:3, Ezekiel 13:22, Ezekiel 22:28, Lamentations 2:14, Zechariah 13:3

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.
I will: Genesis 7:4, Exodus 32:12, Deuteronomy 6:15, 1 Kings 13:34, Amos 9:8
this year: Jeremiah 28:3, Jeremiah 20:6, Numbers 14:37, Numbers 16:28-35, Numbers 29:32, Deuteronomy 13:5-11
because: Ezekiel 13:11, Ezekiel 13:12, Acts 13:8-11
rebellion: Heb. revolt, Jeremiah 29:32, Deuteronomy 13:5, *marg.
Reciprocal: Genesis 39:9 - sin Exodus 9:5 - a set time 1 Samuel 15:23 - rebellion 1 Samuel 28:19 - and to morrow 1 Kings 13:5 - General 1 Kings 13:18 - But 1 Kings 22:25 - Behold 2 Kings 2:24 - cursed them 2 Chronicles 6:23 - requiting 2 Chronicles 18:24 - Behold Isaiah 5:18 - draw Isaiah 9:15 - the prophet Jeremiah 27:10 - they Jeremiah 27:15 - ye Ezekiel 13:22 - and strengthened Amos 2:4 - and their Amos 7:17 - Thy wife Malachi 2:9 - before James 3:6 - a world
So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
Hananiah: Isaiah 44:25, Isaiah 44:26, Zechariah 1:6
the seventh month: The prophecy was delivered in the fifth month - Jeremiah 29:1, and Hananiah died in the seventh month; exactly two months after he had delivered his false prophecy, which he declared, in the name of God, would be fulfilled in two years. Here then the true prophet was demonstrated, and the false prophet detected. The death of Hananiah, thus predicted, was God's seal to the words of His prophet, and must have gained his other predictions great credit among the people; though it is evident that it did not induce them to forsake their sins and return to the God of Israel.
Reciprocal: Exodus 9:5 - a set time Numbers 14:37 - died 1 Samuel 28:19 - and to morrow 1 Kings 13:5 - General 1 Kings 22:25 - Behold 2 Chronicles 6:23 - requiting 2 Chronicles 18:24 - Behold Jeremiah 27:15 - ye
