Isaiah 22:2-4

Living Bible

² The whole city is in terrible uproar. What’s the trouble in this busy, happy city?^[a] Bodies! Lying everywhere, slain by plague and not by sword. ³ All your leaders flee; they surrender without resistance. The people slip away but they are captured too. ⁴ Leave me alone to weep. Don’t try to comfort me—let me cry for my people as I watch them being destroyed.
