2 Nxa bangakubuza bathi, ‘Manje siyengaphi?’ wena ubaphendule uthi, ‘Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova:

“Ozabulawa ngumkhuhlane otshabalalisayo kabulawe yiwo!

Ozabulawa yinkemba kabulawe yinkemba!+

Lozabulawa yindlala kabulawe yindlala!

Lalowo ozathunjwa kathunjwe!”’+

9 UNebhuzaradani+ induna yabalindi wathumba bonke abantu ababesele edolobheni wabahambisa eBhabhiloni. Wathatha labo ababehlamukele kuye labo bonke nje abantu ababesele.

15 UNebhuzaradani induna yabalindi wathumba abanye abantukazana labo bonke abantu ababesele edolobheni. Wathatha labantu ababehlamukele enkosini yeBhabhiloni kanye lazo zonke izingcitshi zomsebenzi.+

30 Ngomnyaka wesi-23 wokubusa kukaNebhukhadinezari, uNebhuzaradani induna yabalindi wathumba amaJuda angu-745.+

Sebebonke abantu abathunjwayo babengu-4 600.

2 Nxa insuku zakho zokuvimbezela idolobho seziphelile, kumele utshise ingxenye yokuqala phakathi kwedolobho.+ Ngemva kwalokho kumele uthathe ingxenye yesibili uyiqume ngenkemba kuwo wonke amacele edolobho,+ besekusithi ingxenye yesithathu uyihaze emoyeni. Mina ngizahwatsha inkemba yami ngibaxotshanise.+
