8He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.
9And you saw all the broken places in the wall of the town of David: and you got together the waters of the lower pool.

13But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.
