Isaiah 22:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² You who were full of noise,
You boisterous town, you ^(A)exultant city;
Your slain were ^(B)not slain with the sword,
Nor ^[a]did they die in battle.
^3 (C)All your rulers have fled together,
And have been captured ^[b]without the bow;
All of you who were found were taken captive together,
^[c]Though they had fled far away.
⁴ Therefore I say, “Turn your eyes away from me,
Let me ^(D)weep bitterly,
Do not ^[d]try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
