UJeremiya 43:1-7

Kwathi ukuba uJeremiya aqede ukukhuluma kubantu bonke, wonke amazwi kaSimakade uNkulunkulu wabo, uSimakade uNkulunkulu wabo ayemthume wona kubo; u-Azariya indodana kaHoshayiya, noJohanani indodana kaKhareya, nabantu bonke abazigqajayo, bathi kuJeremiya: “Uqamba amanga. USimakade uNkulunkulu wethu akakuthumanga ukuba, uthi: ‘Ningahambi niyogogobala eGibhithe,’ kodwa nguBharukhi, indodana kaNeriya, ekuqhatha nathi ukuze sinikelwe esandleni samaKhaledi, asibulale, asithumbele eBhabhele.” UJohanani, indodana kaKhareya, abakhuzi bempi, nabantu bonke kabalilalelanga izwi likaSimakade lokuba bahlale ezweni lakwaJuda. UJohanani, indodana kaKhareya, nabakhuzi bempi, bathatha yonke insali yakwaJuda eyayibuye ezizweni zonke lapho yayixoshelwe khona ukuba izogogobala ezweni lakwaJuda: abesilisa, abesifazane, izingane, amadodakazi enkosi, bonke abantu uNebuzaradani, induna yabalindi, ayebashiye kuGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikamu kaShafani, uJeremiya umphrofethi, noBharukhi indodana kaNeriya, baya eGibhithe, ngokuba kabaligqizanga qakala izwi likaSimakade; baze bafika eThahiphanesi.
