28 Ngomnyaka ofanako, ekuthomeni kokubusa kweKosi yakwaJuda uTsedekhiya,+ ngomnyaka wesine, ngenyanga yesihlanu, umphorofidi uRhananiya indodana ka-Azuri weGibiyoni+ wathi kimi endlini kaJehova phambi kwabo boke abaphristi naphambi kwabo boke abantu: 2 “Ngilokhu uJehova wamabutho, uZimu ka-Israyeli, akutjhoko, ‘Ngizokuphula ijogi lekosi yeBhayibhiloni.+

11 Nje-ke uRhananiya watjho lokhu phambi kwabo boke abantu: “Ngilokhu uJehova akutjhoko, ‘Ngokufanako ngizokuphula ijogi leKosi uNebukadinetsari yeBhabhiloni ngilisuse eentanyeni zazo zoke iintjhaba phakathi neminyaka emibili.’”+ Ngemva kwalokho, uJoromiya umphorofidi waraga nekhambo lakhe.

19 Nje-ke baphi abaphorofidi abaphorofida kuwe, ‘Bathi ikosi yeBhabhiloni angekhe ize ngokujamelene nawe nangokujamelene nenarha le’?+
