Verse 7
7. (Hosea 5:14; Lamentations 3:10).
leopard—The Hebrew comes from a root meaning "spotted" (compare Lamentations 3:10- :). Leopards lurk in thickets and thence spring on their victims.
observe—that is, lie in wait for them. Several manuscripts, the Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac, and Arabic read, by a slight change of the Hebrew vowel pointing, "by the way of Assyria," a region abounding in leopards and lions. English Version is better.
