8 AmaKhaledi* azokubuya alwe nedorobheli, alithumbe begodu alitjhise ngomlilo.”+

17 Ngemva kwalokho, iKosi uTsedekhiya yathumela bona ayokubizwa, ikosi yambuza imibuzo ngemsitheleni endlinayo.*+ Yathi, “Kukhona na okhunye uJehova akutjhwileko?” UJoromiya wathi, “Kukhona!” Waragela phambili wathi, “Uzokunikelwa esandleni sekosi yeBhabhiloni!”+
