The Oracle Concerning the Valley of Vision

1

A prophecy about the Valley of Vision: Tell me what is wrong with you, that you have all gone up on the roofs.

2

You city full of noise, confusion and boisterous excitement, your slain did not fall to the sword, nor did they die in battle.

3

All your leaders fled together and were captured without the use of a bow; all from you who were found were captured, even though they had fled far away.

4

This is why I said, "Don't look at me, leave me alone to weep bitterly, don't try to comfort me over the destruction of my people."

5

For it is a day of panic, trampling and confusion from Adonai ELOHIM-Tzva'ot in the Valley of Vision. With walls crashing down, they cry for help to the mountains.

6

'Eilam picks up the quivers, with cavalry and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shields.

7

In time, your choicest valleys are overrun by chariots, and the cavalry take their posts by the gate;

8

thus is Y'hudah's protection removed. That day you looked for the armor in the House of the Forest.

9

You saw how many breaches there were in the City of David, you collected water from the lower pool,

10

you surveyed the houses in Yerushalayim, tearing some down to fortify the wall.

11

You also built a reservoir between the two walls for the water from the Old Pool; but you didn't look to Him who made these things; you had no respect for Him who fashioned them long ago.
