1 The message about the Valley of Vision:What is wrong with you people?Why are you on your roofs?
2 This city was a very busy city.It was full of noise and wild parties.But your people have been killed,but not with swords.They did not die in battle.
3 All your leaders ran away together.But they all have been captured without using a bow.All you who were capturedtried to run away before the enemy came near.
4 So I say, “Don’t look at me.Let me cry loudly.Don’t hurry to comfort meabout the destruction of Jerusalem.”
5 The Master, the Lord of heaven’s armies, has chosen a special day.There will be riots and confusion.People will trample each other in the Valley of Vision.The city walls will be knocked down.The people will cry out to the mountain.
6 The soldiers from Elam will take their bags of arrows.Men in chariots and on horses will attack.Kir will prepare their shields.
