Jeremiah 28:2 features Hananiah's false prophecy of the breaking of the yoke of Babylon, directly contradicting the message God gave Jeremiah in Jeremiah 27:2, where God commands Jeremiah to make a yoke and put it on his neck as a symbol of submission to Babylon.
Jeremiah 28:9 discusses the test of a true prophet, which aligns with Deuteronomy 18:22, where it is stated that if a prophet's prediction does not come to pass, it is not a message from the Lord.
Jeremiah 28:13 speaks of the iron yoke that God will place on the nations, which is echoed in Lamentations 1:14, where the yoke of transgressions is described as being bound upon the neck, symbolizing the heavy burden of sin and judgment.
Jeremiah 28:15 condemns Hananiah for prophesying lies in the name of the Lord, similar to Jeremiah 14:14, where God declares that the prophets are prophesying lies in His name, emphasizing the theme of false prophecy.
Jeremiah 28:17 records the death of Hananiah as a consequence of his false prophecy, which aligns with Deuteronomy 18:20, where it is stated that a prophet who presumes to speak a word in God's name that He has not commanded shall die.
