Isaiah 22:2-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
2 you that are full of shoutings,
tumultuous city, exultant town?
Your slain are not slain by the sword,
nor are they dead in battle.
3 Your rulers have all fled together;
they were captured without the use of a bow.[a]
All of you who were found were captured,
though they had fled far away.[b]
4 Therefore I said:
Look away from me,
let me weep bitter tears;
do not try to comfort me
for the destruction of my beloved people.

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.

let me weep(G) bitterly.
Do not try to console me
over the destruction of my people.”(H)
