Ngaleso sikhathi impi yenkosi yaseBabele yalivimbezela iJerusalema ; uJeremiya umprofethi wayevalelwe egcekeni letilongo elalisendlini yenkosi yakwaJuda,

Wayesefika kimi uHanameli indodana kababekazi egcekeni letilongo njengezwi likaJehova, wathi kimi: Ake uyithenge insimu yami ese -Anathoti elisezweni lakwaBenjamini, ngokuba ilungelo lefa lingelakho , nokuhlenga kungokwakho; zithengele lona. Ngase ngazi ukuthi leli zwi lavela kuJehova.

Izwi likaJehova lafika kuJeremiya ngokwes ibili, esavalelwe egcekeni letilongo, lathi:

USedekiya inkosi wayeseyala ukuba bambeke uJeremiya egcekeni letilongo, bamnika imihla ngemihla iqebelengwane lesinkwa livela esiTaladini Sabaphekizinkwa , kwaze kwaphela isinkwa sonke emzini . UJeremiya wahlala-ke egcekeni letilongo.

Base bemdonsa uJeremiya ngezintambo , bamkhipha emgodini; uJeremiya wahlala egcekeni letilongo. UJeremiya uhlangana ngasese noSedekiya

Kepha uJeremiya wasala egcekeni letilongo , kwaze kwafika usuku elanqotshwa ngalo iJerusalema.

Zase zimthatha uJeremiya , zamphonsa emgodini kaMalikhiya indodana yenkosi owawusegcekeni letilongo , bamehlisa uJeremiya ngezintambo . Emgodini kwakungekho manzi, udaka lodwa; uJeremiya washona odakeni.

bathuma bamkhipha uJeremiya egcekeni letilongo , bamnikeza kuGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu kaShafani ukuba amyise ekhaya; wayesehlala phakathi kwabantu.

Lase lifika izwi likaJehova kuJeremiya esavalelwe egcekeni letilongo, lithi:

UPhalali, indodana ka -Uzayi, wayemalungana neNqubu nombhoshongo ophumeleleyo endlini yenkosi engasenhla ngasegcekeni letilongo . Emva kwakhe nguPhedaya indodana kaPharoshi.
