12 “‘Kodwa nxa iminyaka engu-70 isiphelile+ ngizayijezisa inkosi yeBhabhiloni kanye lesizwe sayo ngenxa yecala labo,’+ kutsho uJehova. ‘Ngizakwenza ilizwe lamaKhaledi libe ngamanxiwa kuze kube nini lanini.+

43 Amadolobho ayo asengamanxiwa ayesabekayo, aseyinkangala engelamanzi.

Ilizwe okungelamuntu ozahlala kulo njalo okungelamuntu ozadabula phakathi kwalo.+

64 ubususithi, ‘Le yiyo indlela iBhabhiloni ezacwila ngayo ingaphindi ibonakale+ ngenxa yomonakalo engizayehlisela wona. Abantu bayo bazaphela amandla.’”+
