8. And he uncovereth the covering of Judah: and thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest;
9. and ye have seen the breaches of the city of David, that they are many; and ye have gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
10. and ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and have broken down the houses to fortify the wall;
11. and ye have made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not had regard unto the maker thereof, neither have ye looked unto him that fashioned it long ago.
12. And in that day did the Lord Jehovah of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;
13. and behold joy and rejoicing, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: --Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
14. And it was revealed in mine ears by Jehovah of hosts: Assuredly this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
