13 Ngonyaka weshumi elinesine kaKumkani uHezekiya, uSenaribhe+ ukumkani waseAsiriya+ wenyuka nxamnye nazo zonke izixeko ezinqatyisiweyo zakwaYuda waza wazithimba.

19 Wayitshisa indlu kaTHIXO oyinyaniso+ wadiliza iindonga+ zeYerusalem; nazo zonke iinqaba zayo zokuhlala bazitshisa ngomlilo kwaneempahla zayo ezinqwenelekayo,+ ukuze bayonakalise.+

27 “‘“Kodwa ukuba anithanga nindithobele ngokuwungcwalisa umhla wesabatha nokungathwali mthwalo,+ kodwa nangena nawo ngamasango eYerusalem ngomhla wesabatha, ndowatshisa ngomlilo amasango ayo,+ kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuziqwenga iinqaba zokuhlala zaseYerusalem+ yaye awuyi kucinywa.”’”+

7 xa imikhosi yamajoni yokumkani waseBhabhiloni yayisilwa neYerusalem nazo zonke izixeko zakwaYuda ezazisele,+ neLakishe+ neAzeka;+ kuba kwakusele zona, ezi zixeko zinqatyisiweyo,+ phakathi kwezixeko zakwaYuda.+
