4 For this reason, I said: "Depart from me. I will weep bitterly. Make no attempt to console me, over the devastation of the daughter of my people."
5 For it is a day of death, and of trampling, and of weeping to the Lord, the God of hosts, in the valley of vision: examining the wall and the magnificence above the mountain.
6 And Elam took up the quiver and the chariot of the horseman; and he stripped the wall of the shield.
7 And your elect valleys will be filled with chariots, and the horsemen will position themselves at the gates.
8 And the covering of Judah will be exposed, and in that day, you will see the weaponry of the forest house.
9 And you will see breaches in the city of David, for these have been multiplied. But you have gathered together the waters of the lower fish-pool.
10 And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem. And you have destroyed the houses in order to fortify the wall.
