10 You picked out the weaker buildings in Jerusalem.
    You tore them down and used their stones
    to strengthen the city walls against attack.
11 You built a pool between the two walls.
    You used it to save the water
    that was running down from the Old Pool.
But you didn’t look to the God who made it all possible.
    You didn’t pay any attention to the God
    who planned everything long ago.

    He told you to tear your hair out.
    And he told you to put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad.
