* The burden of the valley of vision . What aileth thee now , that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops ? * Thou that art full of stirs , a tumultuous city , a joyous city : thy slain men are not slain with the sword , nor dead in battle . * All thy rulers are fled together , they are bound by the archers : all that are found in thee are bound together , which have fled from far . * Therefore said I , Look away from me ; I will weep bitterly , labour not to comfort me , because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people . * For it is a day of trouble , and of treading down , and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision , breaking down the walls , and of crying to the mountains . * And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen , and Kir uncovered the shield . * And it shall come to pass , that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots , and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate . * And he discovered the covering of Judah , and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest . * Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David , that they are many : and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool . * And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem , and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall . * Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool : but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof , neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago . * And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping , and to mourning , and to baldness , and to girding with sackcloth : * And behold joy and gladness , slaying oxen , and killing sheep , eating flesh , and drinking wine : let us eat and drink ; for to morrow we shall die .
