11 UZedekhiya+ wayeleminyaka engu-21 ngesikhathi esiba yinkosi futhi wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engu-11.+

13 Wahlamukela iNkosi uNebhukhadinezari+ eyayimfungise ngoNkulunkulu, njalo waqhubeka eqinisa ikhanda futhi ewomisa inhliziyo yakhe. Wala ukulalela uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

15 Kodwa inkosi yakoJuda ihlamukele inkosi yeBhabhiloni+ ngokuthuma izithunywa zayo eGibhithe ukuze bayinike amabhiza+ lebutho elikhulu.+ Kambe izaphumelela? Umuntu owenza izinto lezi uzaphunyuka yini angajeziswa? Kambe angephula isivumelwano aphunyuke?’+
