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."

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.

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.
