Isaiah 22:3-5

New King James Version

³All your rulers have fled together;
They are captured by the archers.
All who are found in you are bound together;
They have fled from afar.
⁴Therefore I said, “Look away from me,
^(A)I will weep bitterly;
Do not labor to comfort me
Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.”

⁵^(B)For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity
^(C)By the Lord God of hosts
In the Valley of Vision—
Breaking down the walls
And of crying to the mountain.
