12. Soon after this confrontation with Hananiah, the lord gave this message to Jeremiah:
13. “Go and tell Hananiah, ‘This is what the lord says: You have broken a wooden yoke, but you have replaced it with a yoke of iron.
14. The lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: I have put a yoke of iron on the necks of all these nations, forcing them into slavery under King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I have put everything, even the wild animals, under his control.’”
15. Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah! The lord has not sent you, but the people believe your lies.
16. Therefore, this is what the lord says: ‘You must die. Your life will end this very year because you have rebelled against the lord.’”
17. Two months later the prophet Hananiah died.
