221 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
221 A prophecy against the Valley of Vision: What troubles you now, that you have all gone up on the roofs,
221 The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What do you mean that you have gone up, all of you, to the housetops,
221 A Message concerning the Valley of Vision: What's going on here anyway? All this partying and noisemaking,
221 The burden against the Valley of Vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops,
221 This message came to me concerning Jerusalem-the Valley of Vision : What is happening? Why is everyone running to the rooftops?
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 22:1
Commentary on Isaiah 22:1-7
(Read Isaiah 22:1-7)
Why is Jerusalem in such terror? Her slain men are not slain with the sword, but with famine; or, slain with fear, disheartened. Their rulers fled, but were overtaken. The servants of God, who foresee and warn sinners of coming miseries, are affected by the prospect. But all the horrors of a city taken by storm, faintly shadow forth the terrors of the day of wrath.
