Her gates are sunk into the ground; that is, the gates of Jerusalem are destroyed and covered over with rubbish. He hath destroyed and broken her bars; the bolts of the gates are broken. Her king and her princes are among the Gentiles; Zedekiah and the nobles of Judah that were not slain were in miserable captivity. The law is no more; the law was no more read and opened, nor was there any more sacrifices offered according to the prescript of it, nor any solemn feasts kept according to the direction of it. Her prophets also find no vision from the Lord; they had but very few prophets amongst them from this time to the time of the gospel, and very few of those at this time alive had any revelations from God; we read only of this prophet, Ezekiel, Daniel, and three after the captivity, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.
