1. This is the divine revelation about the valley of Vision.What’s the matter with you?Why do all of you go up on the roofs?
2. You are a city filled with shouting,a town filled with noise and excitement.Your people weren’t killed with swords.Your dead didn’t die in battle.
3. All your leaders fled togetherand were captured without their bows and arrows.All those who were found were taken prisonerbefore any of them could get far away.
4. That is why I say,“Turn away from meso that I can cry bitterly.Don’t try to comfort mebecause of the destruction brought on my people.”
5. The Almighty Lord of Armies has chosen a special day.It will be a day of confusion and tramplingin the valley of Vision,⌊a day of⌋ tearing down walls and crying for helpin the mountains.
6. Elam takes its quiver of arrows,manned chariots, and horsemen.Kir uncovers its shields.
