Isaiah 22:1

This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,

2 O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.

3 All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
