Kwathi ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi yasePheresiya ukuba kugcwaliseke izwi likaJehova ngomlomo kaJeremiya, uJehova wavusa umoya kaKoresi inkosi yasePheresiya, wakhamuluka ekwenzeni umbuso wakhe wonke. Futhi lokho futhi ngokubhala, ethi:
Usho kanje uKoresi, inkosi yasePheresiya, uthi: “UJehova uNkulunkulu wezulu unginikile yonke imibuso yomhlaba; wangiyala ukuba ngimakhele indlu eJerusalema lakwaJuda.
Ngubani phakathi kwenu kubo bonke abantu bakhe? uNkulunkulu wakhe makabe naye, akhuphukele eJerusalema lakwaJuda, akhe indlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, (unguNkulunkulu) eseJerusalema.
Futhi wonke umuntu osele nomaphi lapho egogobala khona, amadoda asendaweni yakhe makamsize ngesiliva, nangegolide, nangezimpahla, nangezinkomo, kanye nomnikelo wesihle wendlu kaNkulunkulu eseJerusalema.
Khona-ke izinhloko zawoyise bakwaJuda noBhenjamini, abapristi namaLevi, nabo bonke abamoya wabo uNkulunkulu awuvusayo, basukuma ukuze bakhe indlu kaJehova eJerusalema.
Bonke ababebazungezile baqinisa izandla zabo ngezitsha zesiliva, nangegolide, nangezimpahla, nangezilwane, nangezinto eziyigugu, ngaphandle kwakho konke okwanikelwa ngokuzithandela.
Inkosi uKoresi yazikhipha izitsha zendlu kaJehova uNebukadinesari ayezikhiphe eJerusalema, wazibeka endlini yawonkulunkulu bakhe;
Lazo uKoresi inkosi yasePheresiya wazikhipha ngesandla sikaMithiredati umphathi-sikhwama, wazibalela uSheshibhazari isikhulu sakwaJuda.
Nanku umumo wazo: izingqwembe zegolide ezingamashumi amathathu, izingqwembe zesiliva eziyinkulungwane, ommese abangamashumi amabili nesishiyagalolunye,
Izitsha zegolide ezingamashumi amathathu, izitsha zesiliva zohlobo lwesibili ezingamakhulu amane neshumi nezinye izitsha eziyinkulungwane.
Zonke izitsha zegolide nezesiliva zaziyizinkulungwane ezinhlanu namakhulu amane. Konke lokhu kwabangela ukuba uSheshibazari akhuphuke kanye nabo ekuthunjweni okwakhushulelwa eJerusalema esuka eBhabhiloni.
