Isaiah 22:1 Douay-Rheims

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

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

The valley of vision: Jerusalem. The temple of Jerusalem was built upon Mount Moria, or the mountain of vision. But the city is here called, the valley of vision, either because it was lower than the temple, or because of the low condition to which it was to be reduced, (Challoner) during the captivity. (Worthington) — Vision. Septuagint, “Sion.” (Haydock) — This prophecy regards the devastation caused by Sennacherib, (St. Jerome) Nabuchodonosor, (Sanctius) the Romans, (Eusebius) or by Assaradon, when he took Manasses, 2 Paralipomenon xxxiii. 11., and 4 Kings xxi. 10. — Tops, to weep.
