Lamentations2:9
9 Her gates are sunk into the ground , he hath destroyed and broken her bars , her king and her princes are among the Gentiles ; the law is no more , her prophets also find no vision from the LORD .
That is, the Gates of Ierusalem are destroyed, and covered over with rubbish.
The bolts of the Gates are broken.
Zedekiah and the Nobles of Iudah that were not slain were in miserable Captivity.
The Law was no more read and opened, nor was there any more Sacrifices offered according to the prescript of it, nor any solemn Feasts kept according to the direction of it.
They had but very few Prophets amongst them from this time to the time of the Gospel, and very few of those at this time alive had any Revelations from God, we read onely of this Prophet, Ezekiel, Daniel, and three after the Captivity, Haggai, Zechariah and Malachy.
