After the prophet Hananiah broke the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the Lord spoke his word to Jeremiah. He said,
Isaiah hadn’t gone as far as the middle courtyard when the Lord spoke his word to him:
But that same night God spoke his word to Nathan:
The Lord spoke his word to Jeremiah when King Josiah, son of Amon, was in his thirteenth year as king of Judah.
This is what the Lord said to me: Make ⌞leather⌟ straps and a wooden yoke, and strap the yoke on your neck.
Then the Lord spoke his word to Jeremiah. He said,
In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, learned from the Scriptures the number of years that Jerusalem would remain in ruins. The Lord had told the prophet Jeremiah that Jerusalem would remain in ruins for 70 years.
