Isaiah 22:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³Your rulers have all fled together;
    they were captured without the use of a bow.^[a]
All of you who were found were captured,
    though they had fled far away.^[b]
⁴Therefore I said:
Look away from me,
    let me weep bitter tears;
do not try to comfort me
    for the destruction of my beloved people.

⁵For the Lord God of hosts has a day
    of tumult and trampling and confusion
    in the valley of vision,
a battering down of walls
    and a cry for help to the mountains.
