1
A prophet named Chananyah opposed Yirmeyahu publicly.
2
He proclaimed that the yoke of Bavel would soon be broken and that the vessels taken from the House would quickly return.
3
Yirmeyahu answered, “May it be so. Yet the prophet who proclaims shalom is tested by whether his word comes to pass.”
4
Chananyah broke the sign of the yoke and stirred the people against Yirmeyahu.
5
Then the rulers seized Yirmeyahu and cast him into confinement.
6
They said, “Let him remain until his words fail.”
7
But the Word of Yahuah was not confined.
