upon the Valley of Vision!

The walls of Jerusalem have been broken,

and cries of death echo from the mountainsides.

All that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far.

By the Lord God of hosts in the valley of vision,

Breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
