UJeremiya 38:9-10

“Nkosi yami, nkosi, laba bantu benze okubi ngakho konke abakwenze kuJeremiya, umphrofethi, bamphonse emgodini; uzakufela lapho ngenxa yendlala, ngokuba akusekho kudla emzini.” Inkosi yayisimyala u-Ebhedi Melekhi, umKhushe, ithi: “Thatha lapha amadoda angama-30, uhambe nawo, nimkhiphe uJeremiya, umphrofethi, emgodini, engakafi.”
