6 Nje-ke bayibamba ikosi,+ bakhuphukela nayo ekosini yeBhabhiloni eRibhila begodu bayigweba. 7 Babulala amadodana kaTsedekhiya phambi kwakhe aqalile; ngemva kwalokho uNebukadinetsari waphophaza amehlo kaTsedekhiya, wambopha ngamakhamandela wekhopha eenyaweni, weza naye eBhabhiloni.+

17 Nje-ke uJoromiya wathi kuTsedekhiya: “Ngilokhu uJehova uZimu wamabutho, uZimu ka-Israyeli akutjhoko, ‘Nawuzinikela emakhosaneni wekosi yeBhabhiloni uzokusindisa ukuphila kwakho, begodu idorobheli angekhe litjhiswe ngomlilo, wena nabantu bendlwakho nizokusinda.+ 18 Kodwana nawungazinikeli emakhosaneni wekosi yeBhabhiloni, idorobheli lizokunikelwa amaKhaledi,* azolitjhisa ngomlilo,+ begodu wena angekhe uphunyurhe ezandleni zawo.’”+

5 Kodwana amaKhaledi* abagijimisa, abamba uTsedekhiya emmangweni othabaleleko weJerikho.+ Amthumba begodu amletha eKosini yeBhabhiloni uNebukadinetsari eRibhila+ enarheni yeRhamathi+ lapha amgweba khona.

13 Ngizokuphosela inedami phezu kwayo begodu izokubanjwa yinedami yokuzuma.+ Ngemva kwalokho ngizoyiletha eBhabhiloni enarheni yamaKhaledi* kodwana angekhe iyibone begodu izokufela lapho.+
