Isaiah 22:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 All your leaders fled away together,
they were captured without use of bow;
All who were found were captured together,
though they had fled afar off.
4 That is why I say: Turn away from me,
let me weep bitterly;
Do not try to comfort me
for the ruin of the daughter of my people.(A)
5 It is a day of panic, rout and confusion,
from the Lord, the God of hosts, in the Valley of Vision[a]
Walls crash;
a cry for help to the mountains.
