Lamentations5:9
Ver. 9. We gat our bread with the peril of our lives] So did our good Anceſtors the bread of life, whilſt their Preachers alſo were glad to do as Jotham did, Judg. 9.21. when they had delivered what they had to ſay, run away, and fly for their lives. See 2 Sam. 23.17.
Becauſe of the ſword of the wilderneſſe] Where rovers and robbers lay in wait for us: neither could we paſſe them without apparent peril.
