May bi God go do en mirakle, just as E do before kon stop King Nebukadnezzar, so dat e nor go kom attack us again. 3 Jeremaya ansa dem, “Make una go tell King Zedekaya sey 4 Israel God sey, ‘I go distroy yor sojas wey dey fight against Babilon king and en sojas. I go bring dia sojas kom di town centre. 5 Na with all my pawa, vexnashon and fire, I go take fight against yu. 6 I go kill evribody for dis land. Na bad diziz I go take kill both di pipol and dia animals. 7 Naw, mi, God promise sey, “King Zedekaya with en ofisas and doz wey survive di war, di honga and diziz, I go give dem to King Nebukadnezzar for Babilon and to dia enemies wey won kill dem.
