1 This is the divine revelation about the valley of Vision. What's the matter with you? Why do all of you go up on the roofs? 2 You are a city filled with shouting, a town filled with noise and excitement. Your people weren't killed with swords. Your dead didn't die in battle. 3 All your leaders fled together and were captured without their bows and arrows. All those who were found were taken prisoner before any of them could get far away. 4 That is why I say, |Turn away from me so that I can cry bitterly. Don't try to comfort me because of the destruction brought on my people.| 5 The Almighty LORD of Armies has chosen a special day. It will be a day of confusion and trampling in the valley of Vision, [a day of] tearing down walls and crying for help in the mountains. 6 Elam takes its quiver of arrows, manned chariots, and horsemen. Kir uncovers its shields. 7 Then your fertile valleys will be filled with chariots, and horsemen will stand ready in front of the gate. Isaiah 22:1-7, God's Word Translation.
