6 Bandula ke bambamba ukumkani+ baza bamnyusa bamsa kukumkani waseBhabhiloni eRibhela,+ ukuze bavakalise isigwebo sakhe.

3 Kwaye wena akuyi kusinda esandleni sakhe, ngenxa yokuba nakanjani na uya kubanjwa yaye uya kunikelwa esandleni sakhe.+ Namehlo akho aya kuwabona amehlo okumkani waseBhabhiloni,+ nomlomo wakhe uya kuthetha nomlomo wakho, yaye wena uya kuya eBhabhiloni.’

17 UKumkani uZedekiya wathumela, wamthabatha, waza ukumkani waqalisa ukumbuza imibuzo endlwini yakhe emfihlekweni.+ Yaye wahlabela mgama wathi: “Likho na ilizwi elivela kuYehova?” Wathi ke uYeremiya: “Likho!” Waza ngokubhekele phaya wathi: “Uya kunikelwa esandleni sokumkani waseBhabhiloni!”+

18 Kodwa ukuba uthe akwaphuma uye kwiinkosana zokumkani waseBhabhiloni, esi sixeko siya kunikelwa esandleni samaKhaledi, kwaye okunene aya kusitshisa ngomlilo,+ yaye wena akuyi kusinda esandleni sawo.’”+

5 Umkhosi wamajoni amaKhaledi wabasukela,+ waza wamfumana uZedekiya emathafeni ayinkqantosi aseYeriko.+ Wandula ke wamthabatha wamzisa kuNebhukaderetsare ukumkani waseBhabhiloni eRibhela+ kwilizwe laseHamati+ ukuze avakalise izigwebo zakhe.+

9 Wandula ke wambamba ukumkani waza wamnyusa wamsa kukumkani waseBhabhiloni+ eRibhela+ kwilizwe laseHamati,+ ukuze avakalise kuye isigwebo.+

13 Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiya kuwaneka umnatha wam phezu kwaso, yaye simele sibanjiswe ngumnatha wam wokuzingela;+ kwaye ndiza kusizisa eBhabhiloni, kwilizwe lamaKhaledi,+ kodwa lona asiyi kulibona; siya kufela apho ke.+
