1 The burden of the Valley of Vision: What is the matter with you now? For you have gone up to the rooftops.
2 You were full of noise, a boisterous city, an exultant town? Your dead were not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
3 All your rulers have fled together, then captured without a bow. All who were caught were taken into exile together, though they had fled far off.
4 Therefore I said, “Look away from me! Let me weep bitterly— don’t try to comfort me about the ruin of the daughter of my people.”
5 For my Lord Adonai-Tzva’ot has a day of panic, trampling and confusion— in the Valley of Vision— of tearing down a wall, a catastrophe on the mountain.
