Jeremiah 28:14-16
EasyEnglish Bible
14 Yes, the Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says this: I have put an iron yoke around the necks of all those nations. They will have to serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon as his slaves. Everything will be under his power, even the wild animals.” ’[a]
15 Then Jeremiah said to Hananiah, ‘Listen to me, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you as his prophet. You have spoken lies to these people and they have believed you. 16 So the Lord says to you, “I will remove you from this earth. You have taught people to turn against me, the Lord. You will certainly die this year.” ’

- 28:14 Jeremiah had told the people to accept the authority of King Nebuchadnezzar. That would be like a wooden yoke around their necks because they would have to do hard work for him. But if they refused to do what the Lord told them, they would be in worse trouble. That would be like an iron yoke that nobody could break.
