Then God ordered Jeremiah: “Take again for yourself a roll, another one, and write on it all the first words that proved to be on the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah burned up. ” Some 17 years later, exactly as God’s word through Jeremiah had foretold, Jerusalem was destroyed, many of its rulers were slain, and its inhabitants were taken into exile in Babylon.
Siis andis Jumal Jeremijale käsu: „Võta enesele taas teine rullraamat ja kirjuta sinna kõik endised sõnad, mis olid esimeseski rullraamatus, mille Juuda kuningas Joojakim põletas ”. 17 aastat hiljem läkski kõik just nii, nagu Jumal oli Jeremija kaudu ennustanud: Jeruusalemm hävitati, paljud selle valitsejad tapeti ja rahvas pagendati Babülooniasse.
