3 Jeremiya akati kwavari: “Udzai Zedhekiya kuti,
4 ‘Zvanzi naJehovha Mwari waIsraeri: “Ndiri kuita kuti zvombo zvehondo zviri muruoko rwenyu zvikurwisei,* izvo zvamuri kurwisa nazvo mambo weBhabhironi+ nevaKadheya vakakukombai vari kunze kwerusvingo. Uye ndichazviunganidza* pakati peguta rino.
5 Ini pachangu ndicharwa nemi+ neruoko rwakatambanudzwa, neruoko rune simba, ndakatsamwa, ndiine hasha uye ndakagumbuka kwazvo.+

7 “‘“Kana izvozvo zvapera,” ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha, “ndichaisa Mambo Zedhekiya weJudha nevashandi vake nevanhu veguta rino, kureva vaya vachapona padenda, pabakatwa, uye panzara, muruoko rwaMambo Nebhukadhinezari* weBhabhironi, mumaoko evavengi vavo, uye mumaoko evaya vari kutsvaga kuvauraya.*+ Iye achavauraya nebakatwa. Haazovanzwiri urombo, uye haazovanzwiri tsitsi kana kuvanzwira ngoni.”’+
8 “Uti kuvanhu ava, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: “Ndiri kuisa nzira yeupenyu nenzira yerufu pamberi penyu.
9 Vaya vanoramba vari muguta rino vachaurayiwa nebakatwa, nenzara, uye nedenda. Asi munhu anobuda uye anoenda kunozviisa mumaoko evaKadheya vakakukombai acharamba achirarama, uye achava neupenyu hwake* sechinhu chaapamba.”’*+
10 “‘“Nekuti ndatarisa guta rino ndakatsamwa kuti ndiriunzire dambudziko, kwete zvakanaka,”+ ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha. “Richaiswa muruoko rwamambo weBhabhironi,+ uye acharipisa nemoto.”+
11 “‘Imi imba yamambo weJudha: Inzwai shoko raJehovha.
12 Haiwa imi imba yaDhavhidhi, zvanzi naJehovha:
“Tongai zvakarurama mangwanani ega ega,Uye nunurai ari kubirwa paruoko rweanobiridzira,+Kuti kutsamwa kwangu kurege kunganduma semoto+Kwobvira pasina anodzimaNemhaka yezvakaipa zvamunoita.”’+
13 ‘Ndiri kukurwisa haiwa iwe mugari wemubani,Haiwa iwe dombo renyika yakati sandara,’ ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.
‘Asi kunemi munoti: “Ndiani achadzika kuzotirwisa?
Ndiani achapinda nechisimba matinogara?”
14 Ndichaita kuti muzvidavirireMaererano nemabasa enyu,’+ ndizvo zvinotaurwa naJehovha.
‘Ndichabatidza sango rake nemoto,Uye iwo uchaparadza zvinhu zvese zvakamupoteredza.’”+
