Jeremiah 28:12 In-Context

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

11 And in the presence of all the people Hananiah proclaimed, “This is what the LORD says: ‘In this way, within two years I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations.’” At this, Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.
