For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
Because the time is coming when your enemies will build walls around you, surround you completely, and trap you from every direction.
Sometimes the consequences we've been avoiding finally catch up to us.
