24 Ngensuku zikaJehoyakhimu, uNebhukhadinezari+ inkosi yeBhabhiloni wabuya wazomhlasela. UJehoyakhimu waba yinceku yakhe okweminyaka emithathu kodwa wacina ehlamuka.

36 Ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kukaJehoyakhimu+ indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda, ilizwi likaJehova lafika kuJeremiya lathi:

2 Nanku akutshoyo ngeGibhithe,+ mayelana lebutho likaFaro Nekho+ inkosi yeGibhithe, owayesemfuleni uYufrathe futhi owanqotshwa nguNebhukhadinezari* inkosi yeBhabhiloni eKharikhemishi. Lokhu kwenzakala ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kukaJehoyakhimu+ indodana kaJosiya inkosi yakoJuda. Uthi:

1 Ngomnyaka wesithathu wokubusa kukaJehoyakhimi+ inkosi yakoJuda, inkosi yaseBhabhiloni uNebhukhadinezari yafika yavimbezela iJerusalema.+
