2 Ngemuva kwesikhatsi, Jehova wanikela Jehoyakimu inkhosi yakaJuda esandleni saNebukhadnezari,+ wanikela kuye naletinye tintfo tasendlini* yaNkulunkulu weliciniso. Nebukhadnezari watitsatsa letintfo watiyisa eShinari,*+ ethempelini* lankulunkulu wakhe, wafike watibeka lapho kugcinwa khona umcebo wankulunkulu wakhe.+
