First, in plain English

He broke the wooden yoke off Jeremiah's neck and announced that Babylon's hold on Judah would be gone in two years. Jeremiah came back with word that God would put an iron yoke in its place, and that Hananiah would die within the year. He died two months later.

Who this is

Hananiah was a false prophet who publicly contradicted Jeremiah, breaking a wooden yoke off Jeremiah's neck to symbolize Judah's coming freedom from Babylon within two years. Jeremiah returned with a message that God would replace the wooden yoke with an iron one, and predicted Hananiah would die within the year for prophesying rebellion God had not authorized, a prediction fulfilled two months later.
