Ginsalakay ni Haring Nebucadnezar sang Babilonia ang Jerusalem kag ang mga banwa sa palibot sini. Kaupod niya sa pagsalakay ang tanan niya nga soldado pati ang mga soldado halin sa tanan nga ginharian nga sakop niya. Sadto nga tion nagsiling ang Ginoo, ang Dios sang Israel, kay Jeremias: “Magkadto ka kay Haring Zedekia sang Juda kag silinga siya nga ako, ang Ginoo, nagasiling: Itugyan ko ini nga siyudad sa hari sang Babilonia kag pagasunugon niya ini.
