Isaiah 22:1 The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you are wholly gone up to the housetops? Furthermore, the epithet is intended to be more than geographical. A valley is a lonely, quiet depression, shut in and cut off by mountains. Similarly is Jerusalem the sheltered, peaceful place, closed against the world, which Jehovah has chosen in order to show there to His prophets the secrets of His government of the world. (F. Delitzsch.) Parallel Verses KJV: The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?WEB: The burden of the valley of vision.
