9 And behold, he himself cometh, mounted on a two-horse chariot. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen: and all her images and the works of her hands are crushed into the earth.

10 Hear, ye that are left, and are in anguish, hear what I have heard from the Lord of Hosts: the God of Israel hath proclaimed it to us.

The vision of Idumæa

11 To me ye call from Seir, Watch ye (the) battlements.

[*](12 I watch at morning, and through the night; thou inquire, inquire, and dwell beside me.)[*](13 In the forest shalt thou lie down at evening, in the way of Dedan.)[*](14 Bring water to the thirsty to meet him, ye that dwell in the land of Teman ; meet ye with loaves them that flee)[*](15 Because of the multitude of them that flee, and because of the multitude of them that wander, and because of the multitude of the sword, and because of the multitude of the bows that are bent, and because of the multitude of them that are fallen in the war.)[*](16 For thus said the Lord to me, Yet a year, as the year of a hireling, the glory of the sons of Kedar shall fail,)[*](7. ‘horsemen, and ’...B. ‘diligent,’ lit. ‘much ‘ (so Heb.).)[*](8. ‘Uriah’ differs from ‘Arich,’ a lion, by vowel points and the insertion of as second letter. ’ to the watch tower.

17 And the remnant of the bows of the strong sons of Kedar shall be few; for the Lord, the God of Israel, hath spoken it.

XXII. The vision of the valley of Zion.

1 What hath befallen thee now, that ye are all gone up to vain houses ?

2 The city is filled with men shouting; thy smitten ones are not smitten with the sword, nor thy dead men dead in war.

3 All thy rulers are fled; and they that are taken have been cruelly bound, and the strong ones in thee are fled far away.

4 Therefore I said, Let me go, I will weep bitterly; persist not to comfort me, for the blow of the daughter of my race.

5 For it is a day of confusion and destruction, and of trampling down, and a wandering from the Lord of Hosts; in the valley of Zion they wander, from small to great they wander (on) to the mountains.

6 And the Elamites took quivers; mounted men upon horses, and a gathering of an array.

7 And there shall be thy chosen valleys, they shall be filled with chariots, and the horsemen shall bar thy gates :

8 And they shall lay open the gates of Judah; and they shall look in that day unto the chosen houses of the city.

9 And they shall lay open the secret things of the houses of the citadel of David. And they saw that they were more in number, and that they had turned off the water of the old pool into the city,

10 And that they had pulled down the houses of Jerusalem for a fortification of the wall for the city.
