Jeremiah 28:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ There were prophets long before we became prophets, Hananiah. They prophesied that war, hunger and terrible sicknesses would come. They would come to many countries and great kingdoms. ⁹ But a prophet might prophesy that we will have peace. The message of that prophet might come true. If it does, only then can he be recognized as one truly sent by the Lord!”

¹⁰ Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off Jeremiah’s neck and broke it.
