49 “UJehova uzalivusela isizwe esivela khatshana sizolihlasela,+ esivela emikhawulweni yomhlaba, sizahwitha njengokhozi,+ isizwe esikhuluma ulimi elingasoze liluzwe,+

24 Ngensuku zikaJehoyakhimu, uNebhukhadinezari+ inkosi yeBhabhiloni wabuya wazomhlasela. UJehoyakhimu waba yinceku yakhe okweminyaka emithathu kodwa wacina ehlamuka. 2 UJehova wasethumela amaqembu amabutho amaKhaledi,+ laweSiriya, lawamaMowabi kanye lawama-Amoni ukuthi amhlasele. Waqhubeka ewathuma elizweni lakoJuda ukuze alitshabalalise, njengoba nje uJehova wayekhulumile+ esebenzisa izinceku zakhe ezingabaphrofethi.

25 Mhlaka 10 ngenyanga yetshumi ngomnyaka wesi-9 wokubusa kukaZedekhiya, uNebhukhadinezari+ inkosi yeBhabhiloni wabuya lebutho lakhe lonke wazohlasela idolobho leJerusalema.+ Wafika wamisa inkamba wasesakha umduli wokulivimbezela, waligombolozela.+
