The valley of vision, must mean Judah, for the Psalmist describes it as such, Psalms 125:2. And the holy city, Jerusalem, is called a land of vision, on account of the prophet's dwelling in it, and delivering their predictions there. And here, the Lord's land, which is the glory of all lands, comes in for her visitation also, because of transgression. The songs of the temple are changed for the cries of the streets; and the people are in distress, in the prospect of the enemy's approach. Reader! what is said here of God's people in general, may be said of every individual in particular: when without are fightings, within will be fears; correction is in the covenant. Psalms 89:1.
