Isaiah 22:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

What has happened that you have gone up,
    all of you, to the housetops,^(A)
2 city full of shouting,
    tumultuous city, panic-stricken town?
Your slain are not slain by the sword,
    nor are they dead in battle.^(B)
3 Your rulers have all fled together;
    they were captured without the use of a bow.^[a]
All of your people who were found were captured,
    though they had fled far away.^[b](C)
