The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?

You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.

All your rulers ... have gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.

For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting of the daughter of my people.

For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision; ...

And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.
