9 Yaye wayitshisa indlu kaYehova+ nendlu kakumkani+ nazo zonke izindlu zaseYerusalem;+ nezindlu zawo onke amadoda abalaseleyo wazitshisa ngomlilo.+

25 ngenxa yokuba beye bandishiya+ baza baqhumisa umbingelelo kwabanye oothixo,+ ukuze bandicaphukise+ ngawo wonke umsebenzi wezandla zabo+ yaye umsindo wam+ uyavutha nxamnye nale ndawo kwaye uwuyi kucinywa.’”+

16 Kodwa baqhubeka bebagculela+ abathunywa bakaTHIXO oyinyaniso bewadelela amazwi akhe+ bebenza intlekisa+ abaprofeti bakhe, de wafika umsindo+ kaYehova nxamnye nabantu bakhe, kwada akwabakho kuphiliswa.+

20 Ngoko ke itsho iNkosi enguMongami uYehova ukuthi, ‘Khangela! Umsindo wam nobushushu bam buthululelwa phezu kwale ndawo,+ phezu koluntu naphezu kwesilwanyana sasekhaya, naphezu komthi wasendle+ naphezu kwesiqhamo somhlaba; umele uvuthe, kwaye awuyi kucima.’+

8 Indlu yokumkani nezindlu zabantu amaKhaledi azitshisa ngomlilo,+ neendonga zaseYerusalem azidiliza.+

4 Ekugqibeleni kwathi ngonyaka wesithoba wokuba ngukumkani kwakhe,+ ngenyanga yeshumi, ngomhla weshumi enyangeni leyo, kwafika uNebhukaderetsare ukumkani waseBhabhiloni, yena nawo wonke umkhosi wakhe wamajoni, nxamnye neYerusalem,+ bamisa inkampu ngakuyo, bakha nodonga lokungqinga macala onke.+

6 Ngubani na onokuma phambi kwesiqalekiso sakhe?+ Yaye ngubani na onokuphakama nxamnye nobushushu bomsindo wakhe?+

Umsindo wakhe ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuphalazwa njengomlilo,+ namawa aya kudilika ngenxa yakhe.
