1 LOAD OF THE RAVINE OF ZION What is it to you, indeed, that you all go up to the housetops?
2 Tumults are filling the city! Clamor the joyous town! Your wounded will not be wounded by the sword, nor your dead the dead of battle."
3 All your captains wander together. By bowmen are they bound. All your resolute are bound together, because they ran far away."
4 Therefore said I, "Squint away from me. I am embittering in my lament. You must not rush to comfort me over the devastation of the daughter of my people."
5 For a day of discomfiture and destruction is it, and trampling and lamentation, to my Lord Yahweh of hosts. In the ravine of Zion is a scooping through the side wall, small and great are straying to the mountain."
6 And Elam lifts up the quiver with the charioteer, and horsemen, and Kir makes naked the shield."
7 And it is coming that the choicest of your vales are full of chariots, and the horsemen will set, yea set out toward your gate."
