This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Lam_5:9 We gat our bread with [the peril of] our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
Ver. 9. We gat our bread with the peril of our lives.] So did our good ancestors the bread of life, while their preachers also were glad to do as Jotham did, {Jdg_9:21} when they had delivered what they had to say, run away, and flee for their lives. See 2Sa_23:17.
Because of the sword of the wilderness.] Where rovers and robbers lay in wait for us; neither could we pass them without apparent peril.
