4 UZedekhiya inkosi yakoJuda kasoze aphunyuke ezandleni zamaKhaledi. Uzanikelwa enkosini yeBhabhiloni loba sekutheni futhi uzayibona ngawakhe, bakhulume bekhangelene.”’+ 5 UJehova uthi, ‘Inkosi yeBhabhiloni izathatha uZedekhiya imhambise eBhabhiloni, njalo uzahlala khona ngize ngibone engingakwenza ngaye. Lanxa liqhubeka lisilwa lamaKhaledi alisoze linqobe.’”+

12 Umkhokheli ophakathi kwabo uzathwala impahla yakhe ehlombe aphume sekumnyama. Uzavula isikhala emdulini abesephuma ngaso ethwele impahla yakhe+ futhi uzavala ubuso bakhe ukuze angawuboni umhlabathi.’ 13 Ngizaphosela inethi yami phezu kwakhe ngimbambe,+ besengimhambisa eBhabhiloni elizweni lamaKhaledi, kodwa kasoze alibone njalo uzafela kulo.+

16 “‘“Ngifunga ngami uqobo,” kutsho iNkosi Enkulu uJehova, “uzafela eBhabhiloni lapho okuhlala khona inkosi* eyambeka ukuthi abe yinkosi,* leyo adelele isifungo sayo wephula lesivumelwano ayesenze layo.+
