1. The burden against the Valley of Vision.What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops,
2. You who are full of noise,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 who are found in you are bound together;They have fled from afar.
4. Therefore I said, “Look away from me,I will weep bitterly;Do not labor to comfort meBecause of the plundering of the daughter of my people.”
