Therefore I said, "Look away from me, let me {weep bitterly}; you must not insist on comforting me for the destruction of the daughter of my people." For the Lord Yahweh of hosts has a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in [the] valley of vision, tearing down of walls and a cry for help to the mountains. And Elam lifted up [the] quiver, with chariots [of] men [and] cavalry. And Kir uncovered [the] shield. And this happened: the choicest of your valleys were full of chariots, and the cavalry confidently stood at the gate. And he uncovered the covering of Judah. And you looked, on that day, to the weapons of the House of the Forest, and you saw that the breaches in the walls of the city of David were many, and you gathered the waters of the lower pool.

Look! Yahweh [is] about to {really hurl} you, man! And he [is] about to grasp you firmly; he will wind a winding tightly around you like ball, to a {wide land}. There you shall die, and there the chariots of your splendor [will be], disgrace to your master's house! And I will push you from your office, and he will throw you down from your position. And this shall happen: On that day I will call to my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah, and I will clothe him [with] your tunic, and I will bind your sash firmly about him, and I will put your authority into his hand, and he shall be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. And I will put the key of the house of David on his shoulder, and he shall open and no one [will be able to] shut; and he shall shut and no one [will be able to] open.
