MLV(i)
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What troubles you now, that you have entirely gone up to the housetops?
2 O you that are full of shouts, a tumultuous city, a joyous town. Your slain are not slain with the sword, nor are they dead in battle.
3 All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found of you were bound together; they fled afar off.
4 Therefore I said, Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Labor not to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people. 5 For it is a day of trouble and of treading down and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls and a crying to the mountains.
6 And Elam bore the quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen and Kir uncovered the shield. 7 And it happened, that your choicest valleys were full of chariots and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
