Clarke's Lamentations 4:18 Bible Commentary
We cannot go in our streets - Supposed to refer to the darts and other missiles cast from the mounds which they had raised on the outside of the walls, by which those who walked in the streets were grievously annoyed, and could not shield themselves.
Barnes's Lamentations 4:18 Bible Commentary
Or, They hunted "our steps that we could not go out into the streets. To hunt" means here to lie in ambush, and catch by snares; and the streets are literally "the wide places," especially at the gates. Toward the end of the siege the towers erected by the enemy would command these places.
Wesley's Lamentations 4:18 Bible Commentary
4:18 They - The Chaldeans.
