1This is the burden against the Valley of Vision:
What ails you now,
that you have all gone up to the rooftops,
2O city of commotion,
O town of revelry?
Your slain did not die by the sword,
nor were they killed in battle.
3All your rulers have fled together,
captured without a bow.
All your fugitives were captured together,
having fled to a distant place.
4Therefore I said,
“Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly!
Do not try to console me
over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
— Isaiah 22:1-4
