An Oracle Concerning Jerusalem

22 The oracle of the Valley of Vision.

What ails you now,
    that you all have gone up to the housetops,
you who were full of noise,
    a tumultuous city, a joyous city?
Your slain are not slain with the sword,
    nor did they die in battle.

All of you who were found were taken captive together,
    although they had fled from afar.
