¹¹ Musinsimi Jeremiya awalo mu Levi wakaamba kuti Jehova ncaabilo cakwe. Atubone ncaakali kupandulula naakabelesya mabala aayo. Jeremiya wakali kukkala ku Anatotu, munzi waba Levi munsi-munsi a Jerusalemu. (Jer. 1:1) Ciindi cimwi, Jeremiya wakanyongana: Nkaambo nzi basizibi ncobakali kuvwuba kakuli baluleme bakali kupenga?

Jehova wakasololela Jeremiya kuti asinsime alimwi mbwaakazuzikizya businsimi oobo cakapa bwiinguzi kumubuzyo wamusinsimi. Kweelana abusinsimi bwa Leza, aabo bakaswiilila busolozi bwa Jehova ‘bakaba abuumi,’ kakuli basizibi ibakavwubide tiibakabikkila maano kukucenjezya aboobo bakanyonyooka.—Jer. 21:9.

Cakali mbuli kuti Jehova ‘wakamukkazika mbuli bantu bakafwa kalekale.’ (Malo. 1:1, 16; 3:6) Jeremiya wakalibaambilide bana Israyeli kuti bapiluke kuli Usyi wabo wakujulu, pele bubi bwabo bwakalivwulide cakuti Leza wakazumizya kuti inyonyoonwe minzi ya Jerusalemu a Juda. Eeco cakapa kuti Jeremiya alimvwe bubi, nokuba kuti tanaakajisi mulandu. Mumapenzi aakwe, musinsimi wakayeeya buuya bwa Leza. Wakaamba kuti: ‘Buuya bwa Jehova bulabukuluka cifwumo coonse.’ Aboobo, Jeremiya wakaamba kuti: “Jehova ncecaabilo cangu.” Wakazumanana kuba acoolwe cakubelekela Jehova kali musinsimi.—Amubale Malilo 3:22-24.

(Jer. 25:11) Pele majwi aa Jeremiya aakuti, “Jehova ncaabilo cangu” akatondezya kuti wakali kusyoma Jehova alimwi cakapa kuti abe muntu ‘uulindila.’ Misyobo yoonse yabana Israyeli yakali kuyoosweekelwa cikono cabo, aboobo yakeelede kuba amuuya wakajisi musinsimi.
