“Thus said GOD of Hosts, the God of Israel: I hereby break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
In two years, I will restore to this place all the vessels of the House of GOD that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon took from this place and brought to Babylon.
And I will bring back to this place King Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim of Judah, and all the Judean exiles who went to Babylon—declares GOD. Yes, I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”
The prophet Jeremiah said: “Amen! May GOD do so! May GOD fulfill what you have prophesied and bring back from Babylon to this place the vessels of the House of GOD and all the exiles!

But just listen to this word that I address to you and to all the people:
and Hananiah said in the presence of all the people, “Thus said GOD: So will I break the yoke of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon from off the necks of all the nations, in two years.” And the prophet Jeremiah went on his way.
For thus said GOD of Hosts, the God of Israel: I have put an iron yoke upon the necks of all those nations, that they may serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon—and serve him they shall! I have even given the wild beasts to him.”
