Isaiah 22:3

3 All your leaders ran away together, but they have been captured without using a bow. All you who were captured tried to run away before the enemy came.

Isaiah 22:3 In-Context

1 This is a message about the Valley of Vision: What is wrong with you people? Why are you on your roofs?
2 This city was a very busy city, full of noise and wild parties. Now your people have been killed, but not with swords, nor did they die in battle.
3 All your leaders ran away together, but they have been captured without using a bow. All you who were captured tried to run away before the enemy came.
4 So I say, "Don't look at me. Let me cry loudly. Don't hurry to comfort me about the destruction of Jerusalem."
5 The Lord God All-Powerful has chosen a special day of riots and confusion. People will trample each other in the Valley of Vision. The city walls will be knocked down, and the people will cry out to the mountain.
