5. Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the Lord’s house,
6. even the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the Lord do so. May the Lord perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the Lord’s house, and all those who are captives, from Babylon to this place.
7. Nevertheless listen now to this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people:
8. The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, of evil, and of pestilence.
9. The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet happens, then the prophet will be known, that the Lord has truly sent him.”
10. Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and broke it.
