“O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.”
Isaiah 22:2 (BSB)
Context Reading
1This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops, 2O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle. 3All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place. 4Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
