For to the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies
    belongs the day of tumult, trampling, and confusion
        in the Valley of Vision,[a]
and the pulling down of his Temple on[b] its mountain.
Elam takes up the quiver
    with chariots and cavalry,
        while Kir unsheathes the shield.
And it will come about[c]
    that your choicest valleys will be filled with chariots,
        and horsemen will take their positions at the gates.
