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.
