Isaiah 22:2-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

2. Filled with clamor, a busy city, an exultant city: your dead have not been slain by the sword, nor did they die in battle.

3. All your leaders have fled together, and they have been bound by hardship. All who were found were chained together. They have fled far away.

4. For this reason, I said: "Depart from me. I will weep bitterly. Make no attempt to console me, over the devastation of the daughter of my people."

5. For it is a day of death, and of trampling, and of weeping to the Lord, the God of hosts, in the valley of vision: examining the wall and the magnificence above the mountain.

6. And Elam took up the quiver and the chariot of the horseman; and he stripped the wall of the shield.
