9. You have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10. And you have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have you broken down to fortify the wall.
11. You made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but you have not looked unto its maker, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.
12. And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call for weeping, and for mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth:
13. But instead, joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating meat, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.
14. And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts,
15. Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts,
16. What have you here? and whom have you here, that you have hewed you out a sepulcher here, as he that hews him out a sepulcher on high, and that carves a tomb for himself in a rock?
17. Behold, the LORD will carry you away with a mighty captivity, and will surely seize you.
18. He will surely violently turn and toss you like a ball into a large country: there shall you die, and there the chariots of your glory shall be the shame of your master's house.
19. And I will drive you from your office, and from your station shall he pull you down.
