Lam_3:9 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
Ver. 9. He hath enclosed my ways with hewn stone,] i.e., Most strongly and closely, so that none can come at me.
He hath made all my paths crooked.] So that all things go cross with me; and although they were never so well devised, yet still they sort out unto the worst.
