Lamentations 3:7
Compare all
5 He has besieged me
And surrounded me with bitterness and1 woe. 
6 aHe has set me in dark places
Like the dead of long ago. 
7 aHe has hedged me in so that I cannot get out;
He has made my chain heavy. 
8 Even awhen I cry and shout,
He shuts out my prayer. 
9 He has blocked my ways with hewn stone;
He has made my paths crooked.
10 aHe has been to me a bear lying in wait,
Like a lion in1 ambush.

Lamentations 3:7

He hath hedged me about - This also may refer to the lines drawn round the city during the siege. But these and similar expressions in the following verses may be merely metaphorical, to point out their straitened, oppressed, and distressed state.
