6 Emva koko wambamba ukumkani,+ wamsa kukumkani waseBhabhiloni eRibhela, waza wamgweba. 7 Wabaxhaxha phambi kwamehlo akhe oonyana bakhe; emva koko uNebhukadenetsare wamtyhaphaza amehlo uZedekiya, wambopha ngamatsheyini ekopolo, waza waya naye eBhabhiloni.+

17 Wathi uYeremiya kuZedekiya: “Uthi uYehova, uThixo wemikhosi, uThixo kaSirayeli, ‘Ukuba uyazinikezela* kwiinkokheli zikakumkani waseBhabhiloni, awuzukubulawa, nesi sixeko asizukutshiswa, ibe wena nendlu yakho anizukubulawa.+ 18 Kodwa ukuba uye awazinikezela kwiinkokheli zikakumkani waseBhabhiloni, esi sixeko siza kunikelwa kumaKhaledi, kwaye aza kusitshisa,+ yaye awuzukusinda kuwo.’”+

5 Umkhosi wamaKhaledi wabaleqa, waza wamfumana uZedekiya kwintlango yaseYeriko.+ Wambamba waza wamzisa kuKumkani uNebhukadenetsare* waseBhabhiloni eRibhela+ kwilizwe laseHamati,+ ukuze agwebe.

13 Ndiza kuphosa umnatha wam wokuzingela phezu kwayo, ibe iza kubambeka kuwo.+ Emva koko ndiyise eBhabhiloni, kwilizwe lamaKhaledi, kodwa ayizukulibona; ibe iza kufela apho.+
