1 This is a message about the Valley of Vision: Jerusalem, what is wrong? Why has everyone gone up to hide in their upper rooms?
2 This city was so happy, but now there is a terrible uproar. There are bodies lying everywhere, but they were not killed with swords. The people died, but not while fighting.
3 All your officers ran away together, but they have all been captured without bows. All the leaders ran away together, but they were found and captured.
4 So I say, “Don’t look at me! Let me cry! Don’t rush to comfort me about the destruction of Jerusalem.”
