All your rulers have fled together, then captured without a bow. All who were caught were taken into exile together, though they had fled far off.
For they fled from swords, from drawn sword, from bent bow and distress of war.
“It will happen in that day” —it is a declaration of Adonai— “that the king’s heart will fail, as will the heart of the princes. The kohanim will be appalled, and the prophets will be stunned.”
