Isaiah 22:2-4

New Revised Standard Version 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.
