Footnotes

  1. 33 Heb “Lions shout over him, they give out [raise] their voices.” The reference to lions is here a metaphor for the Assyrians (and later the Babylonians, see Jer 50:17). The statement about lions roaring over their prey implies that the prey has been vanquished.
  2. 34 Heb “without inhabitant.”
