17 Ke kaloku uYeremiya wathi kuZedekiya: “Utsho uYehova, uTHIXO wemikhosi,+ uTHIXO kaSirayeli,+ ukuthi, ‘Ukuba uthe waphuma waya kwiinkosana zokumkani waseBhabhiloni,+ ngokuqinisekileyo umphefumlo wakho uya kuqhubeka uphila nesi sixeko asiyi kutshiswa ngomlilo, yaye wena nendlu yakho ngokuqinisekileyo niya kuqhubeka niphila.+

18 “‘Kuba nakanjani na ndiya kukusindisa, yaye akuyi kuwa ngekrele; ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuba lixhoba lakho umphefumlo wakho,+ ngenxa yokuba ukholose ngam,’+ utsho uYehova.”

5 Kodwa wena ke, uyaqhubeka uzifunela izinto ezinkulu.+ Musa ukuqhubeka uzifuna.”’+

“‘Kuba yabona, ndiyizisela intlekele inyama yonke,’+ utsho uYehova, ‘yaye ndiza kukunika umphefumlo wakho ube lixhoba kuzo zonke iindawo osenokuya kuzo.’”+
