4. Therefore have I said: Depart from me, I will weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, for the devastation of the daughter of my people.
5. For it is a day of slaughter and of treading down, and of weeping to the Lord the God of hosts in the valley of vision, searching the wall, and magnificent upon the mountain.
6. And Elam took the quiver, the chariot of the horseman, and the shield was taken down from the wall.
7. And thy choice valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horseman shall place themselves in the gate.
8. And the covering of Juda shall be discovered, and thou shalt see in that day the armoury of the house of the forest.
9. And you shall see the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and you have gathered together the waters of the lower pool,
10. And have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and broken down houses to fortify the wall.
