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.
11 You made a reservoir between the walls for the water of the earlier pool.But you didn’t trust its maker;you didn’t consider the one who planned it long ago.
