Kwalomu ka 200 wa malembe emahlweni ka xiendlakalo lexi, Yehovha a a lerisile a ku: “Famba u ya veka murindzi leswaku a ta vula leswi a swi vonaka.” Xana murindzi loyi a a ta tivisa mahungu wahi? “U wile! Babilona u wile, ni swifaniso leswi vatliweke hinkwaswo swa swikwembu swakwe u swi fayetele emisaveni!” (Esaya 21:6, 9) Kunene, hi 539 B.C.E., vuprofeta byebyo byi hetisekile.
