Jeremiah 4:7

the one who destroys nations has set out from his home base.[b]
He is coming out to lay your land waste.
Your cities will become ruins and lie uninhabited.
Footnotes
- Jeremiah 4:7 tn 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.
- Jeremiah 4:7 tn Heb “his place.”
