3aAll your rulers have fled together,

And have been captured 1without the bow;

All of you who were found were taken captive together,

2Though they had fled far away.

4Therefore I say, “Turn your eyes away from me,

Let me aweep bitterly,

Do not 1try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

5aFor the Lord 1God of hosts has a bday of panic, csubjugation and confusion

dIn the valley of vision,

A breaking down of walls

And a crying 2to the mountain.
