Proclamation Against Jerusalem
1 The1 burden against the Valley of Vision.
What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops,
What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops,
2 You who a1re full of noise,
A tumultuous city, aa joyous city?
Your slain men are not slain with the sword,
Nor dead in battle.
A tumultuous city, aa joyous city?
Your slain men are not slain with the sword,
Nor dead in battle.
3 All your rulers have fled together;
They are captured by the archers.
All who are found in you are bound together;
They have fled from afar.
They are captured by the archers.
All who are found in you are bound together;
They have fled from afar.
4 Therefore I said, “Look away from me,
aI will weep bitterly;
Do not labor to comfort me
Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.”
aI will weep bitterly;
Do not labor to comfort me
Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.”
