Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 22:5

_ _ trouble ... by the Lord — that is, sent by or from the Lord (see on Isaiah 19:15; Luke 21:22-24).

_ _ valley of vision — (See on Isaiah 22:1). Some think a valley near Ophel is meant as about to be the scene of devastation (compare Isaiah 32:13, Isaiah 32:14).

_ _ breaking ... walls — that is, “a day of breaking the walls” of the city.

_ _ crying to the mountains — the mournful cry of the townsmen “reaches” to (Maurer translates, towards) the mountains, and is echoed back by them. Josephus describes in the very same language the scene at the assault of Jerusalem under Titus. To this the prophecy, probably, refers ultimately. If, as some think, the “cry” is that of those escaping to the mountains, compare Matthew 13:14; Matthew 24:16, with this.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 22:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 22:5

Treading down — In which my people are trodden under foot by their enemies. By the Lord — Not only men, but God himself fought against them. Walls — Of the strong cities of Judah. Mountains — With such loud and dismal outcries as should reach to the neighbouring mountains.
