You are a city filled with shouting,
    a town filled with noise and excitement.
    Your people weren’t killed with swords.
    Your dead didn’t die in battle.
All your leaders fled together
    and were captured without their bows and arrows.
    All those who were found were taken prisoner
    before any of them could get far away.
That is why I say,
    “Turn away from me
        so that I can cry bitterly.
    Don’t try to comfort me
        because of the destruction brought on my people.”
