1Ved samme lejlighed, i kong Zidkija af Judas regeringstid, modsagde profeten Hananja, Azzurs søn fra Gibeon, mig offentligt i templet i præsternes og folkets påhør. Det var i den femte måned i kongens fjerde regeringsår. Hananja sagde:2„Herren, den Almægtige, Israels Gud, erklærer: Jeg vil fjerne den babyloniske konges åg fra jeres skuldre.3Inden der er gået to år, vil jeg bringe de tempelskatte tilbage, som Nebukadnezar bortførte til Babylon.4Også kong Jekonja vil jeg bringe tilbage sammen med de øvrige fanger i Babylonien.”5Da svarede jeg ham i præsternes og folkets påhør:6„Gid det måtte gå, som du siger. Jeg ville ønske, at Herren ville opfylde din profeti og bringe tempelskattene og fangerne tilbage til os.7Men hør nu, hvad jeg har at sige til dig i præsternes og folkets påhør:8Alle de profeter, der levede før dig og mig, profeterede imod utallige nationer, og de plejede at advare imod katastrofer som krig, hungersnød og epidemier.9Når en profet derfor forudsiger fred, er det svært at tro, at han virkelig er sendt af Herren. Det kan kun afgøres ved at se, om profetien går i opfyldelse.”10Jeg havde stadig åget på mine skuldre, og Hananja kom nu hen og tog det af mine skuldre og brækkede det.11Så sagde han til mængden: „Herren siger endnu en gang, at inden to år er gået, vil han fjerne kong Nebukadnezars åg fra de nationer, som nu er underlagt hans herredømme.” Derefter gik jeg min vej.12Kort efter gav Herren mig følgende budskab:13Gå hen til Hananja og sig: „Godt nok har du brækket et åg, men det var af træ, og jeg vil erstatte det med et af jern.14Herren, den Almægtige, Israels Gud, siger: Jeg vil lægge et jernåg på alle disse nationers skuldre, og deres befolkning skal blive slaver under kong Nebukadnezar af Babylon. Jeg har lagt alt under hans herredømme, selv de vilde dyr.”15Efter at have overbragt budskabet til profeten Hananja tilføjede jeg: „Hør, Hananja, Herren har ikke sendt dig, og du har fået folket til at tro på en løgn.16Derfor siger Herren, at han vil fjerne dig fra jordens overflade. Du har gjort oprør mod Herren, og derfor skal du dø inden årets udgang.”17Og ganske rigtigt: To måneder senere døde Hananja.

Hananiah the False Prophet
1In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying,2“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.3Within two years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the Lord’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon.4I will also bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, declares the Lord, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”5Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Hananiah the prophet in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord,6and the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the Lord do so; may the Lord make the words that you have prophesied come true, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the exiles.7Yet hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.8The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms.9As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to pass, then it will be known that the Lord has truly sent the prophet.”10Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke-bars from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke them.11And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “Thus says the Lord: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations within two years.” But Jeremiah the prophet went his way.12Sometime after the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke-bars from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:13“Go, tell Hananiah, ‘Thus says the Lord: You have broken wooden bars, but you have made in their place bars of iron.14For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have put upon the neck of all these nations an iron yoke to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they shall serve him, for I have given to him even the beasts of the field.’”15And Jeremiah the prophet said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, and you have made this people trust in a lie.16Therefore thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will remove you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, because you have uttered rebellion against the Lord.’”17In that same year, in the seventh month, the prophet Hananiah died.
