Isaiah 22:2-4

International Standard Version

² you who are full of commotion,
    you passionate city,
        you rollicking town?
Your slain weren’t killed by the sword,
    nor are they dead in battle.
³ All your leaders have fled together;
    she is captured^[a] without using bows.
All of you who were caught were captured together,
although they had fled
        while the enemy was still^[b] far away.
⁴ Therefore I said:
    “Look away from me;
        and let me weep bitter tears;
don’t try to console^[c] me
    over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”^[d]
