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.+

19 Yatshisa indlu kaNkulunkulu weqiniso,+ yadiliza umduli weJerusalema+ futhi yatshisa ngomlilo yonke imiphotshongo eqinileyo. Yatshabalalisa konke okwakuligugu.+

27 “‘“Kodwa nxa lingayekela ukungilalela, lehluleke ukugcina usuku lweSabatha lungcwele, lithwale imithwalo liyingenise ngamagedi eJerusalema ngelanga leSabatha, ngizawatshisa ngomlilo amagedi eJerusalema ngitshise lezinqaba zayo+ futhi awusoze ucitshwe.”’”+

2 “UJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Hamba uyekhuluma loZedekhiya+ inkosi yakoJuda uthi: “Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova, ‘Ngizanikela idolobho leli esandleni senkosi yeBhabhiloni futhi izalithungela ngomlilo.+

10 Lanxa belinganqoba lonke ibutho lamaKhaledi elilwa lani, kusale abalimeleyo kuphela, bebezaphuma ematendeni abo balithungele ngomlilo idolobho leli.”’”+

8 AmaKhaledi atshisa indlu yenkosi* lezindlu zabantu,+ adiliza lemiduli yeJerusalema.+
