Therefore I said: "Look away from me; and let me weep bitter tears; don't try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people." For to the Lord GOD of the Heavenly Armies belongs the day of tumult, trampling, and confusion in the Valley of Vision, and the pulling down of his Temple on its mountain. Elam takes up the quiver with chariots and cavalry, while Kir unsheathes the shield. And it will come about that your choicest valleys will be filled with chariots, and horsemen will take their positions at the gates. He has uncovered the defenses of Judah."

Look Out! The LORD is about to hurl you away violently, my strong fellow! He will fold you up completely, rolling you up tightly like a ball and throwing you into a large country. There you will die, and there your splendid chariots will lie. You're a disgrace to your master's house! I will depose you from your office, ousting you from your position. "At that time, I'll call for my servant, Hilkiah's son Eliakim, and I'll clothe him with your robe and fasten your sash around him. I'll transfer your authority to him, and he'll be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. "I'll place on his shoulder the key to the house of David what he opens, no one will shut, and what he shuts, no one will open.
