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.
You looked in that day to the armor bof the House of the Forest;
That it was great;
And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

Isaiah 22:1
The valley - Of Judah; and especially of Jerusalem, called a valley, because great part of it flood in a valley; and the valley of vision, because of the many and clear visions or revelations of God's mind, in that place. House - tops - As they used to do in times of great consternation, that they might look, to and cry to heaven for help.
