captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the L
ORD
: for I will break the yoke of the king of
Babylon.
5
Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and
in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the L
ORD
,
6
Even the prophet Jeremiah
said, Amen: the L
ORD
do so: the L
ORD
perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring
again the vessels of the L
ORD

which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass,

And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the L

of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

yokes of iron.
14
For thus saith the L
ORD

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.

ORD
.
