7It happened that your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
8He took away the covering of Judah; and you did look in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.
9You saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
10and you numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall;
11you made also a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn`t look to him who had done this, neither had you respect to him who purposed it long ago.
12In that day did the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
13and behold, joy and gladness, killing oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.
