⁷ Kai išlikę Judo karo vadai ir jų žmonės išgirdo, jog Babilono karalius paskyrė krašto valdytoju Gedoliją, Ahikamo sūnų, ir pavedė jam likusius krašte beturčius, vyrus, moteris ir vaikus, neištremtus į Babiloną,

² pakilo Izmaelis, Netanijo sūnus, ir dešimt su juo buvusių vyrų ir nužudė kardu Gedoliją, Šafano sūnaus Ahikamo sūnų, kurį Babilono karalius buvo paskyręs krašto valdytoju.

²⁴ Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt:

²⁵ Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, saying, You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to her: establish then your vows, and perform your vows.

²⁶ Therefore hear the word of Yahweh, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, says Yahweh, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, As the Lord Yahweh lives.
