14 Ngokuba usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: Ngibeke ijoka lensimbi entanyeni yazo zonke lezi zizwe ukuba zimkhonze uNebukadinesari inkosi yaseBabele; yebo, ziyakumkhonza; futhi ngimnike nezilwane zasendle.’ ”

16 Ngalokho usho kanje uJehova, uthi: ‘Bheka, ngiyakukuxosha ebusweni bomhlaba, ufe nonyaka, ngokuba ukhulume ukuhlubuka kuJehova.’ ”
