The Valley of Vision

1 The Ioracle° concerning the avalley° of vision°.
  What° is the matter with you now°, that you have all° gone° up to the bhousetops°?
  2 You who° were full° of noise°,
  You boisterous° town°, you aexultant° city°;
  Your slain° were bnot slain° with the sword°,
  Nor° Idid they die° in battle°.
  3 aAll° your rulers° have fled° together°,
  [And] have been captured° Iwithout° the bow°;
  All° of you who were found° were taken° captive° together°,
  IIThough they had fled° far° away.
  4 Therefore°° I say°, “Turn° your eyes° away° from me,
  Let me aweep° bitterly°,
  Do not Itry° to comfort° me concerning° the destruction° of the daughter° of my people°.”
  5 aFor the Lord° IGOD° of hosts° has a bday° of panic°, csubjugation° and confusion°
  dIn the valley° of vision°,
  A breaking° down° of walls°
  And a crying° IIto the mountain°.
  6 aElam° took° up the quiver°
  With the chariots°, Iinfantry° [and] horsemen°;
  And bKir° uncovered° the shield°.
  7 Then your choicest° valleys° were full° of chariots°,
  And the horsemen° took° up fixed° positions° at the gate°.
  8 And He removed° the Idefense° of Judah°.
  In that day° you IIdepended° on the weapons° of the ahouse° of the forest°,
  9 And you saw° that the breaches°
  In the [wall] of the city° of David° were many°;
  And you acollected° the waters° of the lower° pool°.
  10 Then you counted° the houses° of Jerusalem°
  And tore° down° houses° to fortify° the wall°.
  11 And you made° a reservoir° abetween° the two° walls°
  For the waters° of the bold° pool°.
  But you did not Idepend° on Him who made° it,
  Nor° did you IItake° into consideration° Him who planned° it long° ago°.

The prophet lamenteth the invasion of Jewry by the Persians.

1 ¶ The burdenº of the valleyº of vision.º What² aileth thee now,º that² thou art wholly² gone upº ª to the housetops?º 2 Thou that art fullº of stirs,º a tumultuousº ª city,º a joyousº city:º thy slainº [men are] not² slainº with the sword,º nor² deadº ª in battle.º 3 All² thy rulersº are fledº ª together,º they are boundº ª by the archers:º ² all² that are foundº ª in thee are boundº ª together,º [which] have fledº ª from far.º ² 4 Therefore² ² saidº ª I, Look awayº ª from² me; I will weepº bitterly,º ª labourº ª not² to comfortº ª me, because² of the spoilingº of the daughterº of my people.º 5 For² [it is] a dayº of trouble,º and of treading down,º and of perplexityº by the Lordº GODº of hostsº in the valleyº of vision,º breaking¹ ª down² the walls,º and of cryingº to² the mountains.º 6 And Elamº bareº ª the quiverº with chariotsº of menº [and] horsemen,º and Kirº uncoveredº ª the shield.º 7 And it shall come to pass,² [that] thy choicest¹ ² valleysº shall be fullº ª of chariots,º and the horsemenº shall set¹ ª themselves in arrayº ª at the gate.º
