Cade
“They dogged
Our steps.
Thus we could
Not walk
In our streets.
Our end
Drew near.
Our days
Were numbered.
Our end
Had come.”
This verse speaks in the first person plural, referring to the people of Jerusalem. Their enemies persisted in watching them walking, so that they could not step out into the streets. Their end was near. Their days were numbered. Their end had come. They would be no more. This verse starts with the Hebrew consonant letter Cade in this acrostic poem.
