22 A prophecy about the Valley of Vision:

Tell me what is wrong with you,
that you have all gone up on the roofs.
You city full of noise, confusion
and boisterous excitement,
your slain did not fall to the sword,
nor did they die in battle.
All your leaders fled together
and were captured without the use of a bow;
all from you who were found were captured,
even though they had fled far away.
