Isaiah 5:29

29 rugitus eius ut leonis rugiet ut catuli leonum et frendet et tenebit praedam et amplexabitur et non erit qui eruat

Isaiah 5:29 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 5:29

Their roaring [shall be] like a lion
When engaged in war, just seizing on their prey. The phrase denotes their fierceness and cruelty, and the horror they should inject into the hearts of their enemies: they shall roar like young lions;
that are hungry, and almost famished, and in sight of their prey; see ( Job 4:10 ) : yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey;
seize it with great noise and greediness: and shall carry [it] away safe;
into their own den, the country from whence they come: and none shall deliver [it];
this shows that respect is had; not to the Babylonish captivity, from whence there was a deliverance in a few years; but the Roman captivity, from thence there is no deliverance as yet to this day.

27 non est deficiens neque laborans in eo non dormitabit neque dormiet neque solvetur cingulum renum eius nec rumpetur corrigia calciamenti eius

28 sagittae eius acutae et omnes arcus eius extenti ungulae equorum eius ut silex et rotae eius quasi impetus tempestatis

29 rugitus eius ut leonis rugiet ut catuli leonum et frendet et tenebit praedam et amplexabitur et non erit qui eruat

30 et sonabit super eum in die illa sicut sonitus maris aspiciemus in terram et ecce tenebrae tribulationis et lux obtenebrata est in caligine eius
