25 Eceleni kwakhe kwakuloPhalali indodana ka-Uzayi, esakha phambi kwensika yomduli lomphotshongo ophezulu owawubambene lendlu yenkosi,*+ egumeni labalindi.+ UPhalali wayelandelwa nguPhedaya indodana kaPharoshi.+

2 Ngalesosikhathi amabutho enkosi yeBhabhiloni ayevimbezele iJerusalema futhi umphrofethi uJeremiya wayevalelwe egumeni labalindi+ esigodlweni senkosi* yakoJuda.

21 Ngakho iNkosi uZedekhiya yathi uJeremiya avalelwe egumeni labalindi.+ Nsuku zonke wayephiwa isinkwa esasivela emgwaqweni wabapheki bezinkwa.+ UJeremiya waphiwa isinkwa leso kwaze kwaba yilapho isinkwa siphela edolobheni+ njalo waqhubeka ehlala egumeni labalindi.

28 UJeremiya waqhubeka esegumeni labalindi+ kwaze kwaba lilanga iJerusalema eyanqotshwa ngalo. Wayelokhu elapho ngesikhathi iJerusalema inqotshwa.+
