Travelers shall weep for her on their paths, for all roads have been cut off from passers-by. All merchants shall weep for her in their caravans, for captives entered instead of merchants and plundered her merchandise. The chiefs of cities and towns shall weep for her, for the sword of the Assyrians has devoured her leaders."
