Jeremiah · Chapter 28

[ edit] And don it is in þat ȝer, in þe bigynnyng of þe regne of Sedechie, king of Juda, in þe ferþe ȝer, in þe fifte moneþ, ſeide to me Ananye, þe ſone of Aſur, a profete of Gabaon, in þe hous of þe Lord, befor þe preſtes, and al þe puple, ſeiende, Þeſe þingus ſeiþ þe Lord of oſtus, God of Irael, I haue tobroſid þe ȝoc of þe king of Babiloyne. Ȝit two ȝer of daȝes, and Y ſhal make to be born aȝeen to þis place alle þe veſſelis of þe Lord, þat toc Nabugodonoſor, king of Babiloyne, fro þis place, and tranſlatede þem in to Babiloyne.

And Jechonye, þe ſone of Joachym, king of Juda, and al þe tranſmygracioun of Juda, þat wenten in to Babiloyne, Y ſhal turne to þis place, ſeiþ þe Lord; I ſhal to-trede forſoþe þe ȝoc of þe king of Babiloyne. And Jeremye, þe profete, ſeide to Ananye, þe profete, in þe eȝen of preſtus, and in þe eȝen of al þe puple þat ſtoden in þe hous of þe Lord. And Jeremie, þe profete, ſeiþ to Ananye, Amen! þus do þe Lord; rere þe Lord þi wrdus þat þou haſt profecied, þat broȝt aȝeen be þe veſſelis in þe hous of þe Lord, and al þe tranſmygracioun fro Babiloyne, to þis place. Nerþelatere here þou þis wrd, þat Y ſpeke in þin eres, and in þe eres of al þe puple.

Profetus þat weren bifor me, and bifor þee, fro þe bigynnyng, and profecieden vp on manye londus, and vp on manye rewmes, of bataile, and of tormenting, and of hunger. Þe profete þat profeciede pes, whan ſhal comen his wrd, ſhal be wiſt a profete whom ſente þe Lord in treuþe. And Ananye, þe profete, toc þe cheyne of þe necke of Jeremye, profete, and brac it. And Ananye, þe profete, ſeiþ in þe ſiȝte of al þe puple, ſeiende, Þeſe þingus ſeiþ þe Lord, Þus Y ſhal to-breke þe ȝoc of Nabugodonoſor, king of Babiloyne, after two ȝeris of daȝes, fro þe necke of alle Jentilis. And Jeremye, þe profete, wente awei in to his weye.

And don is þe wrd of þe Lord to Jeremye, aftir þat Ananye, þe profete, brac þe cheyne fro þe necke of Jeremye, ſeiende, Go, and ſey to Ananye, Þeſe þingus ſeiþ þe Lord, Treene cheynes þou haſt tobroke, and þou ſhalt make for þem irene cheynes. For þeſe þingus ſeiþ þe Lord of oſtis, God of Irael, An irene ȝoc Y haue ſet vp on þe necke of alle þeſe Jentilis, þat þei ſerue to Nabugodonoſor, king of Babiloyne, and þei ſhul ſeruen to hym; ferþermor and þe beſtus of erþe Y ȝaf to hym. And Jeremye, þe profete, ſeide to Ananye, þe profete, Here þou, Ananye; þe Lord ſente not þee, and þou madiſt þis puple to troſte in leſing. Þerfore þeſe þingus ſeiþ þe Lord, Lo!

I ſhal þrowen out þee fro þe face of þe erþe; þis ȝer þou ſhalt die, forſoþe aȝen þe Lord þou ſpeeke. And dead is Ananye, þe profete, in þat ȝer þe ſeuenþe moneþ.
