Isaiah 22:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Isaiah 22:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 [a]You who were full of noise,
tumultuous city,
exultant town?(A)
Your slain are not slain with the sword,
nor killed in battle.
3 All your leaders fled away together,
they were captured without use of bow;
All who were found were captured together,
though they had fled afar off.
4 That is why I say: Turn away from me,
let me weep bitterly;
Do not try to comfort me
for the ruin of the daughter of my people.(B)

- 22:2–3 The retreat of Judah’s soldiers is a further reason that rejoicing is not in order.

let me weep(G) bitterly.
Do not try to console me
