God’s Message to Jerusalem

22 The message about the Valley of Vision:[a]

What is wrong with you people?
    Why are you on your roofs?[b]
2 This city was a very busy city.
    It was full of noise and wild parties.
But your people have been killed,
    but not with swords.
    They did not die in battle.

  2. 22:1 roofs In Bible times houses were built with flat roofs. The roof was used for drying things such as flax and fruit. And it was used as an extra room, as a place for worship and as a place to sleep in the summer.
