4Therefore I said, `Look ye from me, I am bitter in my weeping, Haste not to comfort me, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.`
5For a day of noise, and of treading down, And of perplexity, [is] to the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In the valley of vision, digging down a wall, And crying unto the mountain.
6And Elam hath borne a quiver, In a chariot of men -- horsemen, And Kir hath exposed a shield.
7And it cometh to pass, The choice of thy valleys have been full of chariots, And the horsemen place themselves diligently at the gate.
8And one removeth the covering of Judah, And thou lookest in that day Unto the armour of the house of the forest,
9And the breaches of the city of David ye have seen, For they have become many, And ye gather the waters of the lower pool,
10And the houses of Jerusalem ye did number, And ye break down the houses to fence the wall.
