17 Yeke wathumela ikosi yamaKhaledi,*+ eyabulala amasokanabo ngesabula+ endaweni ecwengileko;+ akhenge irhawukele amasokana namkha iintombi, abalupheleko namkha abarholopheleko.+ UZimu wanikela koke esandleni sayo.+

2 “Nakhu uJehova uZimu ka-Israyeli akutjhoko, ‘Khamba ukhulume noTsedekhiya+ iKosi yakwaJuda uyitjele ukuthi: “Nakhu uJehova akutjhoko, ‘Nginikela idorobheli esandleni sekosi yeBhabhiloni begodu izolitjhisa ngomlilo.+

10 Ngitjho nanyana ningalihlula loke ibutho lamaKhaledi* alwa nani kusale kwaphela amadoda alimeleko, azokuvuka ematendenawo atjhise idorobheli ngomlilo.”’”+

8 Ngemva kwalokho, amaKhaledi* atjhisa indlu yekosi* nezindlu zabantu,+ agiriza amaboda weJerusalema.+
