11 Così giunsi a Gerusalemme; e quando vebbi passato tre giorni,

12 mi levai di notte, presi meco pochi uomini, e non dissi nulla ad alcuno di quello che Dio mavea messo in cuore di fare per Gerusalemme; non avevo meco altro giumento che quello chio cavalcavo.

13 Ed uscii di notte per la porta della Valle, e mi diressi verso la sorgente del Dragone e la porta del Letame, considerando le mura di Gerusalemme, comerano rotte e come le sue porte erano consumate dal fuoco.

14 Passai presso la porta della Sorgente e il serbatoio del Re, ma non vera posto per cui il giumento chio cavalcavo potesse passare.

15 Allora risalii di notte la valle, sempre considerando le mura; poi, rientrato per la porta della Valle, me ne tornai a casa.

16 I magistrati non sapevano né dovio fossi andato né che cosa facessi. Fino a quel momento, io non vevo detto nulla né ai Giudei né ai sacerdoti né ai notabili né ai magistrati né ad alcuno di quelli che si occupavano di lavori.

11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.

12 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon. 13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire. 14 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king’s pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass. 15 Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned. 16 And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.
