11 Assim cheguei a Jerusalém, e estive ali três dias.

12 Levantei-me de noite, eu e uns poucos homens comigo; e não disse eu a ninguém o que o meu Deus me pôs no coração para fazer em benefício de Jerusalém. Não havia comigo animal algum senão o em que eu estava montado.

13 Saí de noite pela entrada do vale, em direção à fonte do dragão, e até a entrada do esterco, e contemplava os muros de Jerusalém, que estavam demolidos, e as suas portas, que tinham sido consumidas do fogo.

14 Passei à entrada da fonte, e à piscina do rei; porém não havia lugar por onde pudesse passar o animal em que ia montado.

15 Subi de noite pela torrente; contemplei os muros, e voltando, entrei pela entrada do vale, e assim voltei.

16 Os magistrados não sabiam aonde eu fui nem o que eu fiz; nem ainda o tinha eu dito aos judeus, nem aos sacerdotes, nem aos nobres, nem aos magistrados, nem aos mais que faziam a obra.

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

12 And in the night I got up, taking with me a small band of men; I said nothing to any man of what God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem: and I had no beast with me but the one on which I was seated.

13 And I went out by night, through the doorway of the valley, and past the dragon's water-spring as far as the place where waste material was put, viewing the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down, and the doorways which had been burned with fire.

14 Then I went on to the door of the fountain and to the king's pool: but there was no room for my beast to get through.

15 Then in the night, I went up by the stream, viewing the wall; then turning back, I went in by the door in the valley, and so came back.

16 And the chiefs had no knowledge of where I had been or what I was doing; and I had not then said anything to the Jews or to the priests or the great ones or the chiefs or the rest of those who were doing the work.
