what I remember:
An Oracle against the valley of Vision. It's against a town full of commotion (are they too busy?). They are doomed to die shamefully -- without even a fight, because they got so scared they ran away.
All their plans to protect themselves -- even tearing down houses to use the materials to strengthen the wall -- are useless, because they did not acknowledge God, the LORD Almighty. Instead they partied, and said "Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die". God will get rid of the leadership, roll him up and throw him away. Then he'll place a new leader firmly in place -- like a peg driven into wood. In the end, the peg, too, will be sheared off.
notes:
There's two repetitions of "The Lord, the LORD Almighty". I think that's the emphasis in this passage. There's a lot of fun visuals though. It makes me which I was writing a photo blog and had tons of time to take photos that corresponded to these chapters.
