Jerusalem is Rebuked

22 A message[a] concerning the Valley of Vision.[b]

“What troubles you,
    now that you’ve all gone up
        to the rooftops,
you who are full of commotion,
    you passionate city,
        you rollicking town?
Your slain weren’t killed by the sword,
    nor are they dead in battle.
All your leaders have fled together;
    she is captured[c] without using bows.
All of you who were caught were captured together,
although they had fled
        while the enemy was still[d] far away.
