What is happening?
    Why is everyone running to the rooftops?

¹³ I will personally fight against the people in Jerusalem,
    that mighty fortress—
the people who boast, “No one can touch us here.
    No one can break in here.”

² Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.

¹⁴ Thousands upon thousands are waiting in the valley of decision.
    There the day of the Lord will soon arrive.

¹² “Let the nations be called to arms.
    Let them march to the valley of Jehoshaphat.
There I, the Lord, will sit
    to pronounce judgment on them all.

³ They will wear burlap as they wander the streets.
    From every home and public square will come the sound of wailing.

⁶ Now the night will close around you,
    cutting off all your visions.
Darkness will cover you,
    putting an end to your predictions.
The sun will set for you prophets,
    and your day will come to an end.
