4:7Like a lion that has come up from its lair17
the one who destroys nations has set out from his home base.18
He is coming out to lay your land waste.
Your cities will become ruins and lie uninhabited.
Footnotes
- 17 Heb “A lion has left its lair.” The metaphor is turned into a simile for clarification. The word translated “lair” has also been understood to refer to a hiding place. However, it appears to be cognate in meaning to the word translated “lair” in Ps 10:9; Jer 25:38, a word which also refers to the abode of the Lord in Ps 76:3.
- 18 Heb “his place.”
