Jer 28:10-11 | MHM | STEP | Hananiah Condemned This section describes the confrontation between the false prophet Hananiah and the true prophet Jeremiah. Hananiah boldly opposes Jeremiah’s message from God, but God’s justice is soon revealed. Hananiah’s actions and words show the arrogance of false prophecy, while Jeremiah’s response demonstrates patience and trust in God to defend the truth. v. 10–11 : Hananiah, in a dramatic act, takes the wooden yoke from Jeremiah’s neck and breaks it. He declares, Thus says the Lord , Even so will I break the yoke of the king of Babylon within two years (Jeremiah 28:10–11 ). Hananiah mimics the style of true prophecy, but his message is false. He either deceives himself or knowingly lies to the people. His actions are meant to mock Jeremiah and give false hope to the people, but they are not from God.
