2 “UJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Hamba uyekhuluma loZedekhiya+ inkosi yakoJuda uthi: “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova, ‘Ngizanikela idolobho leli esandleni senkosi yeBhabhiloni futhi izalithungela ngomlilo.+ 3 Awusoze uphunyuke enkosini yeBhabhiloni kodwa uzabanjwa loba sekutheni unikelwe kuyo.+ Uzayibona ngamehlo akho likhulume likhangelene njalo uzathathwa uhanjiswe eBhabhiloni.’+

8 AmaKhaledi azaphenduka alwe ledolobho leli alinqobe, abeselithungela ngomlilo.”+

17 INkosi uZedekhiya yambizela endlini yayo* yasimbuza ngudlu+ yathi, “Likhona yini ilizwi elivela kuJehova?” UJeremiya waphendula wathi, “Ye likhona!” Waseqhubeka wathi, “Uzanikelwa esandleni senkosi yeBhabhiloni!”+
