12. Why hast thou then broken down her hedges? Thou hast withdrawn protection from her after caring for her with all
this care; wherefore is this, O Lord? A vine unprotected is exposed to every
form of injury: such was Israel when given over to her enemies; such has the
church often been. So that all they which pass by the way do pluck her.
Her cruel neighbors have a pluck at her, and marauding bands, like roaming
beasts, must need pick at her. With God no enemy can harm us; without him none
are so weak as to be unable to do us damage.
