One Year to Live

Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, even so will I break within two full years the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.' Then the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying, go and speak to Hananiah, saying, thus says the LORD, 'You have broken the yokes of wood, but you have ...
