They shall walk like blind men - unable to see where to turn themselves, so as to find an escape from existing evils.

And their flesh - Hebrew [lªchumaam]: bread; so the Arabic term for bread is used for flesh, Matthew 26:26. 'Their flesh is here called bread because doomed to be the food of worms' (Drusius).
