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.
