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. "As the mountainsª [are] round aboutª Jerusalem,ª so the LORDª [is] round aboutª his peopleª from henceforth¹ ¹ even for² ever.ª ¹" {Psa 125:2} + "Behold,¹ I [am] against¹ thee, O inhabitantª ° of the valley,ª [and] rockª of the plain,ª saithª ° the LORD;ª which say,ª ° Who¹ shall come downª ° against¹ us? or who¹ shall enterª ° into our habitations?ª" {Jer 21:13}

of vision:
"And the childª Samuelª ministeredª ° unto¹ the LORDª beforeª Eli.ª And the wordª of the LORDª was¹ preciousª in those¹ days;ª [there was] no¹ openª ° vision.ª" {1Sm 3:1} + "He shewethª ° his wordª ° unto Jacob,ª his statutesª and his judgmentsª unto Israel.ª ... He hath not¹ dealtª ° so¹ with any¹ nation:ª and [as for his] judgments,ª they have not¹ knownª ° them. Praiseª ° ye the LORD.ª" {Psa 147:19-20} + "Where [there is] no¹ vision,ª the peopleª perish:ª ° but he that keepethª ° the law,ª happyª [is] he." {Prv 29:18} + "Therefore¹ nightª [shall be] unto you, that ye shall not have a vision;ª ¹ and it shall be darkª °° unto you, that ye shall not divine;ª °¹ and the sunª shall go downª ° over¹ the prophets,ª and the dayª shall be darkª ° over¹ them." {Mic 3:6} + "Muchª everyª ² way:ª chiefly,ª ¹ becauseª ² thatª unto them were committedª ° the¹ oraclesª of God.ª" {Rom 3:2} + "Whoª areª ° Israelites;ª to whomª [pertaineth] the¹ adoption,ª andª the¹ glory,ª andª the¹ covenants,ª andª the¹ giving of the law,ª andª the¹ serviceª [of God], andª the¹ promises;ª ... Whoseª [are] the¹ fathers,ª andª ofª whomª as concerningª the fleshª Christª [came], who² ° is¹ overª all,ª Godª blessedª for² ever.ª ¹ Amen.ª" {Rom 9:4-5}

What:
"And Godª heardª °¹ the voiceª of the lad;ª and the angelª of Godª calledª ° to¹ Hagarª out of¹ heaven,ª and saidª ° unto her, What¹ aileth thee, Hagar?ª fearª ° not;¹ for¹ Godª hath heardª °¹ the voiceª of the ladª where¹ ¹ he¹ [is]." {Gen 21:17} + "And they criedª ° unto¹ the childrenª of Dan.ª And they turnedª ° their faces,ª and saidª ° unto Micah,ª What¹ aileth thee, that¹ thou comest with such a company?ª °" {Jdg 18:23} + "And, behold,¹ Saulª cameª ° afterª the herdª out of¹ the field;ª and Saulª said,ª ° What¹ [aileth] the peopleª that¹ they weep?ª ° And they toldª ° him¹ the tidingsª of the men² ¹ of Jabesh.ª" {1Sm 11:5} + "And the kingª saidª ° unto her, What¹ aileth thee? And she answered,ª ° I¹ [am] indeedª a widowª woman,ª and mine husbandª is dead.ª °" {2Sm 14:5} + "And the kingª saidª ° unto her, What¹ aileth thee? And she answered,ª ° This¹ womanª saidª ° unto¹ me, Giveª °¹ thy son,ª that we may eatª ° him to day,ª and we will eatª ° my sonª to morrow.ª" {2Kg 6:28} + "What¹ [ailed] thee, O thou sea,ª that¹ thou fleddest?ª ° thou Jordan,ª [that] thou wast drivenª ° back?ª" {Psa 114:5}

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. "In their streetsª they shall girdª ° themselves with sackcloth:ª on¹ the tops² of their houses,¹ and in their streets,ª every one¹ shall howl,ª ° weepingª abundantly.ª °" {Isa 15:3} + "When¹ thou buildestª ° a newª house,ª then thou shalt makeª ° a battlementª for thy roof,ª that thou bringª ° not¹ bloodª upon thine house,ª if¹ any manª ° fallª ° from¹ thence." {Deu 22:8} + "[There shall be] lamentationª generally¹ upon¹ all¹ the housetopsª of Moab,ª and in the streetsª thereof: for¹ I have brokenª °¹ Moabª like a vesselª wherein [is] no¹ pleasure,ª saithª ° the LORD.ª" {Jer 48:38}
