Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 21:8

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

8. A lion —rather, "(The watchman) cried, I am as a lion"; so as is understood ( Isaiah 62:5 ; Psalms 11:1 ). The point of comparison to "a lion" is in Psalms 11:1- : , the loudness of the cry. But here it is rather his vigilance. The lion's eyelids are short, so that, even when asleep, he seems to be on the watch, awake; hence he was painted on doors of temples as the symbol of watchfulness, guarding the place ( Hor. Apollo ) [HORSLEY]. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-9" class="com-number"
