2. Full of clamour, a populous city, a joyous city: thy slain are not slain by the sword, nor dead in battle.
3. All the princes are fled together, and are bound hard: all that were found, are bound together, they are fled far off.
4. Therefore have I said: Depart from me, I will weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, for the devastation of the daughter of my people.
5. For it is a day of slaughter and of treading down, and of weeping to the Lord the God of hosts in the valley of vision, searching the wall, and magnificent upon the mountain.
