=== Conflict with false prophets ===
While Jeremiah was prophesying the coming destruction, he denounced a number of other prophets who were prophesying peace.<ref>{{bibleverse|Jeremiah|6:13–15|KJV}}, {{bibleverse|Jeremiah|14:14–16|KJV|14:14–16}}, {{bibleverse|Jeremiah|23:9–40|KJV|23:9–40}}, {{bibleverse|Jeremiah|27:1–28:17||27:1–28:17}}, {{bibleverse|Lamentations|2:14|KJV|2:14}}</ref>

According to the book of Jeremiah, during the reign of King Zedekiah, the Lord instructed Jeremiah to make a yoke with the message that the nation would be subject to the king of Babylon. The false prophet Hananiah took the yoke off Jeremiah's neck and broke it, prophesying that within two years the Lord would break the yoke of the king of Babylon, but Jeremiah prophesied in return: "You have broken the yoke of wood, but you have made instead a yoke of iron."<ref>{{bibleverse|Jeremiah|28:13|KJV}}</ref>
