New King James Version

Isaiah 22:1-4 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. The burden against the Valley of Vision.What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops,

2. You who are full of noise,A tumultuous city, a joyous city?Your slain men are not slain with the sword,Nor dead in battle.

3. All 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.

4. Therefore I said, “Look away from me,I will weep bitterly;Do not labor to comfort meBecause of the plundering of the daughter of my people.”
