23:022:002 Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, joyous city: 
           thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in
           battle.

23:022:003 All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the
           archers:  all that are found in thee are bound together, which
           have fled from far.

23:022:004 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly,
           labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the
           daughter of my people.

23:022:005 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of
           perplexity by the Lord god of hosts in the valley of vision,
           breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

23:022:006 And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen,
           and Kir uncovered the shield.

23:022:007 And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be
           full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in
           array at the gate.

23:022:008 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look
           in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.

23:022:009 Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they
           are many:  and ye gathered together the waters of the lower
           pool.

23:022:010 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses
           have ye broken down to fortify the wall.

23:022:011 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of
           the old pool:  but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof,
           neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

23:022:012 And in that day did the Lord god of hosts call to weeping, and
           to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: 

23:022:013 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep,
           eating flesh, and drinking wine:  let us eat and drink; for to
           morrow we shall die.

23:022:014 And it was revealed in mine ears by the lord of hosts, Surely
           this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith
           the Lord god of hosts.

23:022:015 Thus saith the Lord god of hosts, Go, get thee unto this
           treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,

23:022:016 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast
           hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a
           sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself
           in a rock?

23:022:017 Behold, the lord will carry thee away with a mighty captivity,
           and will surely cover thee.

23:022:018 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a
           large country:  there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of
           thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord’s house.
