This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mine: Or rather, as the learned Bochart renders, "Is then my heritage (people) to me as a fierce hyena? Is there a wild beast all around upon her?" i.e., the land of Canaan. The hyena is a kind of wolf, a little bigger than a mastiff; colour grey, streaked with black. It is of a solitary and savage disposition.
speckled bird: or, a bird having talons
the birds: Jer 2:15; 2Ki 24:2; Eze 16:36-37, Eze 23:22-25; Rev 17:16
come ye: Jer 7:33; Isa 56:9; Eze 39:17-20; Rev 19:17-18
come: or, cause them to come
