Proclamation Against Jerusalem
What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops,
A tumultuous city, aa joyous city?
Your slain men are not slain with the sword,
Nor dead in battle.
They are captured by the archers.
All who are found in you are bound together;
They have fled from afar.
aI will weep bitterly;
Do not labor to comfort me
Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.”
bBy the Lord God of hosts
In the Valley of Vision—
Breaking down the walls
And of crying to the mountain.
Shall be full of chariots,
And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

Isaiah 22:3
All thy rulers - are bound by the archers "All thy leaders - are fled from the bow" - There seems to be somewhat of an inconsistency in the sense according to the present reading. If the leaders were bound, usseru , how could they flee away? for their being bound, according to the obvious construction and course of the sentence, is a circumstance prior to their flight. I therefore follow Houbigant, who reads huseru , remoti sunt , "they are gone off." galu , transmigraverunt , Chaldee; which seems to confirm this emendation.
