Isaiah 22:2-4

New Century Version

² This city was a very busy city,
    full of noise and wild parties.
Now your people have been killed,
    but not with swords,
    nor did they die in battle.
³ All your leaders ran away together,
    but they have been captured without using a bow.
All you who were captured
    tried to run away before the enemy came.
⁴ So I say, “Don’t look at me.
    Let me cry loudly.
Don’t hurry to comfort me
    about the destruction of Jerusalem.”
