Verse 11
"And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and will throw down thy strongholds."
The "cities" here is a reference to fortified strongholds, walled cities, as the following parallel reveals. The church, in this also, as a people in all ages have consented to dwell in the open country and unfortified places, relying upon and trusting in the might of the Lord. With Christianity, walled cities tended to disappear.
