Isaiah 22:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² dwellers in a city full of commotion,
    a city exultant and filled with tumult?
Your slain did not fall by the sword,
    nor did they perish in battle.
³ All your leaders fled away together,
    only to be captured
    without a weapon to defend themselves.
All of them who were found were captured
    even though they had fled in all directions.
⁴ That is the reason why I said:
    Turn your eyes away from me;
    let me weep bitterly.
Do not try to console me
    about the destruction of my people.
