Isaiah 22:2-4

The Voice

² What noise! The whole city is in an uproar.
    Don’t you realize that your fallen comrades didn’t actually die fighting,
³ That your leaders turned tail together and ran,
    only to be captured without a fight, without even drawing their weapons?
The rest of you tried to run far away
    but were still captured.
⁴ This is why I said, “Just leave me alone;
    let me weep bitterly over this travesty.
Don’t tell me it’s not that bad, or that everything will be all right.
    We’re talking about the destruction of my cherished people!”
