Isaiah 22:2-4
International Children’s Bible
2 This city was a very busy city.
It was full of noise and wild parties.
But your people have been killed,
but not with swords.
They did not die in battle.
3 All your leaders ran away together.
But they all have been captured without using a bow.
All you who were captured
tried to run away before the enemy came near.
4 So I say, “Don’t look at me.
Let me cry loudly.
Don’t hurry to comfort me
about the destruction of Jerusalem.”
Isaiah 22:2-4
New International Version
Isaiah 22:2-4
New International Version
2 you town so full of commotion,
you city of tumult(A) and revelry?(B)
Your slain(C) were not killed by the sword,(D)
nor did they die in battle.
3 All your leaders have fled(E) together;
they have been captured(F) without using the bow.
All you who were caught were taken prisoner together,
having fled while the enemy was still far away.
4 Therefore I said, “Turn away from me;
let me weep(G) bitterly.
Do not try to console me
over the destruction of my people.”(H)
