Jeremiah 28:12-17 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

12. and a little while later, the Lord told me

13-14. to go back and say to Hananiah:I am the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel. You smashed a wooden yoke, but I will replace it with one made of iron. I will put iron yokes on all the nations, and they will have to do what King Nebuchadnezzar commands. I will even let him rule the wild animals.

15-16. Hananiah, I have never sent you to speak for me. And yet you have talked my people into believing your lies and rebelling against me. So now I will send you—I'll send you right off the face of the earth! You will die before this year is over.

17. Two months later, Hananiah died.
