7 “‘Jehova utsi: “Ngemuva kwaloko ngitawutsatsa iNkhosi Sedekiya yakaJuda, netinceku tayo, kanye nebantfu labahlala kulelidolobha, lokungulabo labangakabulawa ngulesifo lesibulalako, labangakabulawa yinkemba kanye nendlala, ngibanikele kuNebukhadnezari* inkhosi yaseBhabhulona.+ Ngitabanikela nasetitseni tabo nakulabo labafuna kubabulala. Yena utababulala ngenkemba, futsi angeke abavele buhlungu, abahawukele nobe abentele umusa.”’+

8 “‘Kodvwa mayelana nalamakhiwa lamabi kakhulu futsi langadleki,+ Jehova utsi: “Angeke ngimentele lokuhle Sedekiya+ inkhosi yakaJuda, netindvuna takhe, kanye nabo bonkhe labasindzile baseJerusalema, lokufaka ekhatsi labo labasele kulelive nalabo labaseGibhithe.+

21 Ngitawunikela Sedekiya inkhosi yakaJuda netindvuna takhe etitseni tabo, ngibanikele esandleni salabo labafuna kubabulala kanye nasemabutfweni enkhosi yaseBhabhulona,+ lasayekele kunivimbetela.’+

12 Lomholi losemkhatsini wabo utawetfwala timphahla takhe ecebeni ahambe kumnyama. Utawubhobosa imbobo elubondzeni futsi atsatse timphahla takhe aphume ngalembobo.+ Utawuvala buso bakhe kuze angaboni phansi.’ 13 Ngitakwehlisela linethi lami lekutsiya kuye, futsi litambamba.+ Ngitawubese ngimyisa eBhabhulona, eveni lemaKhaledi, kodvwa angeke alibone; utawufike afele lapho.+
