Isaiah 22:2-4
Contemporary English Version

2 Your city is filled
    with noisy shouts.
Those who lie drunk
in your streets
    were not killed in battle.
3 Your leaders ran away,
but they were captured
    without a fight.
No matter how far they ran,
    they were found and caught.[a]

4 Then I said, “Leave me alone!
    Let me cry bitter tears.
My people have been destroyed,
    so don't try to comfort me.”
