Notes

Jeremiah 28:10–11

The false prophet Hananiah broke the yoke that Jeremiah was wearing (Jeremiah 27:2) as a sign of what the Lord would do.
Jeremiah left the confrontation without replying, likely because he had not yet heard the Lord's response.

Jeremiah 28:1–17

Shortly after the events of Jeremiah 27, a false prophet named Hananiah publicly challenged Jeremiah in the Temple courtyard. Each prophet claimed to deliver a message from the Lord, but only Jeremiah's prediction was accurate.
