11. Our bones are dried--
(Ps 141:7),
explained by "our hope is lost"
(Isa 49:14);
our national state is as hopeless of resuscitation, as marrowless bones
are of reanimation.
cut off for our parts--that is, so far as we are concerned. There is
nothing in us to give hope, like a withered branch "cut off" from a
tree, or a limb from the body.
