Matthew Poole and continuators on Lamentations 4:18

18 They hunt our steps that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled, for our end is come .

The Chaldeans imployed in the siege are so close upon us that we cannot stir a foot about our businesses, nor look out at our doors, nor walk in safety in the streets, we are ruined, there is an end of our Civil state. Our period is come, and the time of our prosperity is elapsed.
