The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

1 The prophet laments the invasion of Jewry
8 He reproves their human wisdom and worldly joy
15 He prophesies Shebna's deprivation
20 And the substitution of Eliakim, prefiguring the kingdom of Christ.

the valley. Jerusalem being situated in the midst of surrounding hills, and the seat of Divine revelation, is here termed 'the valley of vision'. This prophecy foretells the invasion of Jerusalem by the Assyrians under Sennacherib; and probably also, by the Chaldeans under Nebuchadnezzar. Ps 125:2

that thou. The eastern houses are built with a court within, into which chiefly the windows open; those that open to the street being so obstructed with lattice work, that no one can see through them. Whenever, therefore, anything is to be seen or heard in the streets, any public spectacle, or any alarm, everyone immediately goes up to the house-top to satisfy his curiosity. Hence all the people running to the top of their houses, gives a lively image of a sudden general alarm. Isa 15:3 De 22:8 Jer 48:38
