This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_2:15 The young lions roared upon him, [and] yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
Ver. 15. The young lions roared upon him, and yelled,] i.e., The King of Babylon and his forces, more fierce and fell than young lions. Would any take the Church’s picture? saith Luther; {a} then let him paint a silly, poor maid, sitting in a wood or wilderness, compassed about with hungry lions, wolves, boars, and bears; for this is her condition in the world.
And they made his land waste,] i.e., They shall shortly so make it.
{a} Loc. com. tit. de persecut. verae Ecclesia.
