21 Ngako oko uKumkani uZedekiya wawisa umyalelo, baza ke bamfaka eluvalelweni uYeremiya kwiNtendelezo Yabalindi;+ kwaye wayenikwa isonka esibusazinge mihla le esivela kwisitrato sababhaki,+ de saphela sonke isonka esixekweni.+ UYeremiya waqhubeka ehlala kwiNtendelezo Yabalindi.+

2 “Utsho uYehova ukuthi, ‘Lowo uqhubekayo ehlala kwesi sixeko uya kufa likrele,+ yindlala+ nayindyikitya yokufa.+ Kodwa ophumayo aye kumaKhaledi uya kuqhubeka ephila yaye ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuba lixhoba kuye umphefumlo wakhe aze aphile.’+

12 Inxalenye yenu esisithathu—iya kufa ngendyikitya yokufa,+ ifikelele esiphelweni sayo ngendlala phakathi kwenu.+ Yaye enye inxalenye esisithathu—iya kuwa ngekrele macala onke. Nenxalenye esisithathu yokugqibela ndiya kuyichithachithela emimoyeni yonke,+ ndirhole ikrele emva kwayo.+

15 Ngaphandle likrele,+ ngaphakathi yindyikitya yokufa nendlala.+ Nabani na osendle, uya kufa ngekrele, yaye nabaphi na abasesixekweni, baya kuqwengwa yindlala nendyikitya yokufa.+

21 “Kuba itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova ukuthi, ‘Kuya kuba njalo ke xa kuya kubakho izenzo zam ezine zokugweba ezenzakalisayo+—ikrele nendlala nerhamncwa elenzakalisayo nendyikitya yokufa+—endiya kuzithumela okunene phezu kweYerusalem ukuze ndinqumle kuyo umntu wasemhlabeni nesilwanyana sasekhaya.+
