Jeremiah 28:12-17

For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a {h} yoke of iron upon 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 {i} beasts of the field also.

(h) That is, a hard and cruel servitude. (i) Signifying that all would be his as in Da 2:38. So Hananiah the prophet {k} died the same year in the seventh month.

(k) Seeing this thing was evident in the eyes of the people and yet they returned not to the Lord, it is manifest that miracles cannot move us, neither the word itself, unless God touch the heart.
