Isaiah 22:1

Here is a message about the Valley of Vision: ¹  What is the reason ²  that all of you go up to the rooftops?

An oracle concerning the Valley of Vision: What troubles you now, that you have all gone up on the roofs,

The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What is the matter with you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?

This message came to me concerning Jerusalem: What is happening? Why is everyone running to the rooftops?

A Message concerning the Valley of Vision: What's going on here anyway? All this partying and noisemaking,

The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?

The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What do you mean that you have gone up, all of you, to the housetops,

The burden against the Valley of Vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops,

Here is a message about the Valley of Vision: ¹  What is the reason ²  that all of you go up to the rooftops?

¹ sn The following message pertains to Jerusalem. The significance of referring to the city as the Valley of Vision is uncertain. Perhaps the Hinnom Valley is in view, but why it is associated with a prophetic revelatory “vision” is not entirely clear. Maybe the Hinnom Valley is called this because the destruction that will take place there is the focal point of this prophetic message (see v. 5).
