1. The burden concerning the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you are wholly gone up to the housetops?
2. You that are full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: your slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
3. All your rulers have fled together, they are captured by the archers: all that are found in you are bound together, who have fled from afar.
4. Therefore said I, Look away from me: I will weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.
