Lamentations 3:10 - The Pulpit Commentary

Lamentations 3:10 - Exposition

Was; rather, is. As a bear ...as a lion . The comparison of the enemy to a lion is not uncommon; see e.g. Jeremiah 4:7 ; Jeremiah 5:6 (see note); Jeremiah 49:19 ; Jeremiah 1:1-19 :44; Psalms 10:9 ; Psalms 17:12 ; Job 10:16 . The bear is only once mentioned in such a context ( Hosea 13:8 ). The two latter passages may possibly have been in the mind of the writer, as Jehovah is in both the subject of the comparison.
