4 Therefore, I said, "Don’t look at me;let me weep bitterly.Don’t try to comfort meabout the destruction of my dearly loved people."
5 The Lord God of heavenly forces has a day of tumult and trampling and turmoil in the Valley of Vision,a breaking down of walls,a cry for help to the mountains.
6 Elam carried the quiver with chariots and horsemen,and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 Your finest valleys were filled with chariots,and horsemen doggedly guarded the gate.
8 Judah’s covering has been stripped away.On that day, you trusted the weapons in the Forest House.
9 You observed the many broken defenses in David’s City,and you collected the waters of the lower pool.
10 You counted Jerusalem’s houses,and you tore down houses to fortify the wall.
