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.”
