(A)All your rulers have fled together,
And have been captured [a]without the bow;
All of you who were found were taken captive together,
[b]Though they had fled far away.
Therefore I say, “Look away from me,
Let me (B)weep bitterly,
Do not [c]try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
(C)For the Lord [d]God of armies has a (D)day of panic, (E)subjugation, and confusion
(F)In the valley of vision,
A breaking down of walls
And a crying [e]to the mountain.
