For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision; ... And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered. And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town. He 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.

See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force, Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house! And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.

And I will give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.
