Isaiah 22:2-4
International Standard Version
Isaiah 22:2-4
International Standard Version
2 you who are full of commotion,
you passionate city,
you rollicking town?
Your slain weren’t killed by the sword,
nor are they dead in battle.
3 All your leaders have fled together;
she is captured[a] without using bows.
All of you who were caught were captured together,
although they had fled
while the enemy was still[b] far away.
4 Therefore I said:
“Look away from me;
and let me weep bitter tears;
don’t try to console[c] me
over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”[d]
