John Gill, on Lam 3:10
John Gill · 1697–1771
Lam 3:10 · Douay-Rheims
“Daleth. He is become to me as a bear lying in wait: as a lion in secret places.”
On this verse:
“He was unto me as a bear lying in wait,.... For its prey, which seizes on it at once, and tears it in pieces; such were the Chaldeans to the Jews by divine permission: and as a lion in secret places; lurking there, in order to take every opportunity and advantage, and fall upon any creature that comes that way. The same thing is signified here as before; see Hos 5:14.”
