All your leaders fled together
    and were captured without their bows and arrows.
    All those who were found were taken prisoner
    before any of them could get far away.
That is why I say,
    “Turn away from me
        so that I can cry bitterly.
    Don’t try to comfort me
        because of the destruction brought on my people.”

    It will be a day of confusion and trampling
        in the valley of Vision,
            a day of tearing down walls and crying for help
                in the mountains.
