All your leaders escaped together
    but were captured without a single bow shot.
    All your escapees were bound together, even though they fled far away.[a]
Therefore, I said, “Don’t look at me;
        let me weep bitterly.
    Don’t try to comfort me
        about the destruction of my dearly loved people.”
The Lord God of heavenly forces has a day of tumult and trampling and turmoil in the Valley of Vision,
        a breaking down of walls,
        a cry for help to the mountains.

All your leaders have fled(A) together;
    they have been captured(B) without using the bow.
All you who were caught were taken prisoner together,
    having fled while the enemy was still far away.
Therefore I said, “Turn away from me;
    let me weep(C) bitterly.
Do not try to console me
    over the destruction of my people.”(D)

The Lord, the Lord Almighty, has a day(E)
    of tumult and trampling(F) and terror(G)

    and of crying out to the mountains.
