1And it happened in that year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah son of Azzur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of Yahweh, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying,

2Thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3Within two years, I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the house of Yahweh, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took from this place and brought to Babylon.

4And I will bring back to this place Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah who came to Babylon, declares Yahweh, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
