1 Oracle on the Valley of Vision: What is the matter with you now, that you have gone up, all of you, to the housetops, 2 You who were full of noise, tumultuous city, exultant town? Your slain are not slain with the sword, nor killed in battle. 3 All your leaders fled away together, they were captured without use of bow; All who were found were captured together, though they had fled afar off. 4 That is why I say: Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly; Do not try to comfort me for the ruin of the daughter of my people. 5 It is a day of panic, rout and confusion, from the Lord, the GOD of hosts, in the Valley of Vision Walls crash; a cry for help to the mountains. 6 Elam takes up the quiver, Aram mounts the horses and Kir uncovers the shields. 7 Your choice valleys are filled with chariots, horses are posted at the gates— Isaiah 22:1-7, New American Bible Revised.
