Contextual Overview

10 The prophet Hananiah then took the yoke off the prophet Jeremiah's neck and broke it. 11 Then he spoke up in the presence of all the people. "The Lord says, ‘In the same way I will break the yoke of servitude of all the nations to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon before two years are over.'" After he heard this, the prophet Jeremiah departed and went on his way. 12 But shortly after the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, the Lord spoke to Jeremiah. 13 "Go and tell Hananiah that the Lord says, ‘You have indeed broken the wooden yoke. But you have only succeeded in replacing it with an iron one! 14 For the Lord God of Israel who rules over all says, "I have put an irresistible yoke of servitude on all these nations so they will serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. And they will indeed serve him. I have even given him control over the wild animals."'" 15 Then the prophet Jeremiah told the prophet Hananiah, "Listen, Hananiah! The Lord did not send you! You are making these people trust in a lie! 16 So the Lord says, ‘I will most assuredly remove you from the face of the earth. You will die this very year because you have counseled rebellion against the Lord .'" 17 In the seventh month of that very same year the prophet Hananiah died.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck,.... Which he wore as a symbol of the subjection of Judea, and other nations, to the king of Babylon: an impudent and insolent action this was, to take the prophet's yoke from his neck; and the more so, as it was by the command of God that he made it, and wore it:

and brake it; being made of wood, as it afterwards appears, and so might easily be broken.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The multitude would see in Hananiah’s act a symbol of deliverance.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 28:10. Then Hananiah - took the yoke - and brake it. — He endeavoured by this symbolical act to persuade them of the truth of his prediction.
