22 Ngomnyaka wokuqala wokubusa kukaKhoresi+ inkosi yePhesiya, uJehova wathinta inhliziyo kaKhoresi. Ngakho inkosi le yenza isimemezelo kuwo wonke umbuso wayo, ukuze ilizwi likaJehova elakhulunywa nguJeremiya+ ligcwaliseke. Isimemezelo leso yasibhala phansi+ njalo sasisithi: 23 “Nanku okutshiwo nguKhoresi inkosi yePhesiya, ‘UJehova uNkulunkulu wamazulu usenginike yonke imibuso yomhlaba+ njalo ungithume ukuthi ngimakhele indlu eJerusalema koJuda.+ Ngakho loba ngubani phakathi kwabantu bakhe angaya eJerusalema njalo kwangathi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe angaba laye.’”+

3 “Ngomnyaka wokuqala wokubusa kwenkosi uKhoresi, iNkosi uKhoresi yabeka umlayo mayelana lendlu kaNkulunkulu eyayiseJerusalema+ yathi: ‘Indlu le kayakhiwe kutsha ibe yindawo abazanikela kuyo imihlatshelo njalo izisekelo zayo kumele zibekwe ziqiniswe. Ubude bayo kabube zingalo ezingu-60* lobubanzi bayo bube zingalo ezingu-60+ 4 futhi kayibe lemizila emithathu yamatshe amakhulu agiqwe afakwa ezindaweni zawo lomzila owodwa wamapulanka.+ Imali yokwenza lezizinto kayithathwe endlini yenkosi.+
