20 “‘Loba nguphi umphrofethi ozakuba liqhalaqhala akhulume ilizwi esebenzisa ibizo lami ngingamthumanga ukuthi alikhulume kumbe akhulume ngebizo labanye onkulunkulu, umphrofethi lowo kumele abulawe.+

9 “‘“‘Ngakho lingabalaleli abaphrofethi benu, labahlahlulayo, labaphupha amaphupho, labenza amasalamusi kanye lezangoma zenu ezithi kini: “Alisoze libuswe yinkosi yeBhabhiloni.”

21 Nanku okutshiwo nguJehova wamabutho, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, mayelana lo-Ahabi indodana kaKholaya, loZedekhiya indodana kaMahaseya, abaphrofetha amanga kini ngebizo lami,+ uthi, ‘Ngizabanikela esandleni sikaNebhukhadinezari* inkosi yeBhabhiloni. Uzababulala phambi kwenu.

23 Lokho kuzakwenzakala ngoba benze ihlazo ko-Israyeli,+ befeba labafazi babomakhelwane babo njalo beqamba amanga ngebizo lami, bekhuluma izinto engingabatshelanga zona.+

“‘“Mina yimi engikwaziyo futhi ngingufakazi walokho,”+ kutsho uJehova.’”
