²¹ Rutongeso rwaJehovha rwakaitwa muzuva raJeremia apo vaBhabhironi vakaparadza Jerusarema muna 607 P.N.V. Sezvakaporofitwa, irworwo rwakanga rwuri ‘ruzvidzo nenyadzi nokuda kwavaIsraeri ivavo vane chisimbwa, vasina kutendeka. (Jeremia 23:39, 40) Rwakavaratidza kuti Jehovha uyo vakanga vazvidza vazvidzazve, pakupedzisira akanga avasiyira kumiuyo youipi hwavo. Miromo yavaporofita vavo venhema vanozvitutumadza yakanyaradzwa pakupedzisira. Bva, muromo waJeremia wakaramba uchiporofita. Jehovha haana kumusiya. Mukuwirirana nouyu mutoo, Jehovha haasati achizosiya boka raJeremia apo chisarudzo chake chinokosha chinotungamirira kukuparadza upenyu huchibva muvafundisi vechiKristudhomu naavo vanodavira nhema dzavo.
