- During Jehoiakim's reign, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded the land, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. But then he changed his mind and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar.
- The LORD sent Babylonian, Aramean, Moabite and Ammonite raiders against him. He sent them to destroy Judah, in accordance with the word of the LORD proclaimed by his servants the prophets.
- Surely these things happened to Judah according to the LORD's command, in order to remove them from his presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all he had done,
- including the shedding of innocent blood. For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD was not willing to forgive.
- As for the other events of Jehoiakim's reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?

- 约雅敬年间,巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒上到犹大。约雅敬服事他三年,然后背叛他。
- 耶和华使迦勒底军,亚兰军,摩押军,和亚扪人的军来攻击约雅敬,毁灭犹大,正如耶和华藉他仆人众先知所说的。
- 这祸临到犹大人,诚然是耶和华所命的,要将他们从自己面前赶出,是因玛拿西所犯的一切罪。
- 又因他流无辜人的血,充满了耶路撒冷。耶和华决不肯赦免。
- 约雅敬其馀的事,凡他所行的都写在犹大列王记上。
