10. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof. The holy city had become a den of wickedness: conspirators met in the
dark, and talked in little knots in the streets even in broad daylight.
Meanwhile the country was being roused to revolt, and the traitors without
threatened to environ the city, and act in concert with the rebels within. Mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. Unhappy king to be thus compelled
to see the mischief which he could not avert laying waste the city which he
loved so well. There was another King whose many tears watered the rebellious
city (Matthew 23:37).
