And in those times there was no peace to him that went out nor to him that came in,.... There was no safety in going abroad for travellers from one part to another on account of trade and business, the highways being infested with thieves and robbers:

"And in these times is no peace to those going out or to those coming in." Free peaceful intercommunication is interfered with (cf.
