8. The Lord stripped away the defenses of Judah, and you looked in that day to the weapons in the Palace of the Forest.
9. You saw that the walls of the City of David were broken through in many places; you stored up water in the Lower Pool.
10. You counted the buildings in Jerusalem and tore down houses to strengthen the wall.
11. You built a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the Old Pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or have regard for the One who planned it long ago.
12. The Lord, the Lord Almighty, called you on that day to weep and to wail, to tear out your hair and put on sackcloth.
