and were captured without the use of a bow;
all from you who were found were captured,
even though they had fled far away.
This is why I said, “Don’t look at me,
leave me alone to weep bitterly,
don’t try to comfort me
over the destruction of my people.”

in the Valley of Vision.
With walls crashing down,
they cry for help to the mountains.

    let me weep(C) bitterly.
Do not try to console me
    over the destruction of my people.”(D)

    and of crying out to the mountains.
