Gill's Notes on the Bible
He hath enclosed my ways with hewn stone,.... Not with a hedge of thorns, or mud walls, but with a fence of stones; and these not rough, and laid loosely together, but hewn and put in order, and well cemented. The Targum is, with marble hewn stones, which are harder than common stones, and not so easily demolished; this may respect the case of the prophet in prison, and in the dungeon, and in Jerusalem, when besieged; or in general his afflictive state, from whence he had no prospect of deliverance; or the state of the Jews in captivity, from which there was no likelihood of a release;
he hath made my paths crooked; or, "perverted my ways" h; so that he could not find his way out, when he attempted it; he got into a way which led him wrong; everything went cross and against him, and all his measures were disconcerted, and his designs defeated; no one step he took prospered.
h נתיבתי עוה "semitas meas pervertit", Pagninus, Montanus, Vatablus, Calvin; "contorsit", Michealis.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Inclosed - Or, hedged Lamentations 3:7.
Hath, made crooked - Or, “hath” turned aside. A solid wall being built across the main road, Jeremiah turns aside into by-ways, but finds them turned aside, so that they lead him back after long wandering to the place from where he started.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 9. He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone — He has put insuperable obstacles in my way; and confounded all my projects of deliverance and all my expectations of prosperity.
