17 Ngakho wathuma inkosi yamaKhaledi+ ukuthi ibahlasele, yafika yabulala amajaha ngenkemba+ endlini engcwele.+ Kayizange izwele muntu kungelani lokuthi lijaha, yintombi, ngolupheleyo loba ngogulayo.+ UNkulunkulu wanikela konke esandleni sayo.+

 7 IBhabhiloni ibiyinkomitsho yegolide esandleni sikaJehova.

Yenze wonke umhlaba wadakwa.

19 “Ngakho nanku okutshiwo yiNkosi Enkulu uJehova, ‘Ngizanika uNebhukhadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni+ ilizwe leGibhithe futhi uzathatha inotho yalo lempahla enengi. Yikho okuzakuba yimbadalo yebutho lakhe.’

18 Nkosi, uNkulunkulu oPhezukonke wanika uyihlo uNebhukhadinezari umbuso lobukhulu lodumo kanye lenkazimulo.+ 19 Abantu bezizwe ezitshiyeneyo lezindimi ezitshiyeneyo babemqhuqha uyihlo+ ngenxa yesikhundla esiphezulu ayesinikwe nguNkulunkulu. Ayefuna ukumbulala wayembulala, ayefuna ukumtshiya ephila amtshiye ephila, afuna ukumphakamisa wayemphakamisa futhi ayefuna ukumyangisa wayemyangisa.+
