Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - I will make, etc. Notice how the utterances of the prophets stand side by side with those of Jehovah. A true prophet has no personal views; so that whether his revelations are expressed in the one form or the other makes no difference. Dragons; rather, jackals.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) A den of dragons.--Better, here and in Jeremiah 10:22; Isaiah 13:22, jackals. The word means, literally, a howler. The English version follows the LXX. and Vulgate versions; but even taking "dragons" in its non-mythical sense as applied to some species of serpent, there is nothing in the word to lead us to assign this meaning. The mistake has probably arisen from the likeness of the word to those translated "serpent" in Exodus 7:9-10; Exodus 7:12, "whale" in Genesis 1:21 and Job 7:12, and "dragons" in Psalm 74:13; Psalm 91:13. . . .
