Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

The verse 2 is found in chapter 22 of Isaiah. Jerusalem is called the valley of vision, but its inhabitants respond to crisis with feasting and military preparations without genuine dependence on God. The statement about eating and drinking reveals a fatalistic attitude. The problem is not merely defensive strategy, but the refusal to recognize the spiritual dimension of the calamity.

Du warst voll Getönes, eine Stadt voll Volks, eine fröhliche Stadt. Deine Erschlagenen sind nicht mit dem Schwert erschlagen und nicht im Streit gestorben;
Tú, llena de alborotos, ciudad turbulenta, ciudad alegre; tus muertos no son muertos a cuchillo, ni muertos en guerra.
Ville bruyante, pleine de tumulte, Cité joyeuse! Tes morts ne périront pas par l'épée, Ils ne mourront pas en combattant.
O città piena di strepiti, città romoreggiante, città trionfante! I tuoi uccisi non sono stati uccisi con la spada, e non son morti in guerra.
Tu, cheia de clamores, cidade turbulenta, cidade alegre, os teus mortos não foram mortos à espada, nem morreram na guerra.
你這四處吶喊、大聲喧嘩的城、 歡樂的邑啊, 你被殺的並非被刀所殺, 也不是因打仗陣亡。
