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.
11. And you have made a pit between two walls for the waters of the ancient fish-pool. But you have not gazed upward to him who made it, and you have not considered, even from a distance, its Maker.
12. And in that day, the Lord, the God of hosts, will call to weeping and mourning, to baldness and the wearing of sackcloth.
13. But behold: gladness and rejoicing, the killing of calves and the slaughter of rams, the eating of meat and the drinking of wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die."
