Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD’S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.

Theological / Devotional

Shortly be brought again. Nebuchadnezzar had carried off these “vessels of the Lord’s house” before Zedekiah ascended the throne (2 Kings 24:10-13; 2 Chron. 36:7). To comfort the people, who greatly mourned this important loss, the false prophets predicted that these sacred vessels would soon be returned to Jerusalem. However, these vessels were not brought back until Cyrus restored them to the Jews (Ezra 1:7—11).
