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.

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.
