[15] Then Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, "Listen now, Hananiah, Yahweh has not sent you, and you have made this people trust in a lie. 

[16] "Therefore thus says Yahweh, 'Behold, I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This year you are going to die because you have spoken rebellion against Yahweh.'" 

[17] So Hananiah the prophet died in the same year in the seventh month.
