Isaiah 22:7

5 For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision— of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.

6 Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.

Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.

8 He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.

9 You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.

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.
