Gill's Notes on the Bible
The young lions roared upon him, and yelled,.... Or, "gave out their voice" e; meaning the kings of the nations, as the Targum, Jarchi, and Kimchi explain it; and are to be understood of the kings of Assyria and Babylon, and particularly of Nebuchadnezzar; see Jeremiah 50:17 compared to lions for their strength and cruelty; their "roaring" and "yelling design" the bringing forth of their armies against Israel, the noise of the battle, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war, and the voice of the warrior:
and they made his land waste; all this is said as past, when it was yet to come, because of the certainty of it, and the sure accomplishment of these prophecies; for this respects the future desolation of the land of Israel at the Babylonish captivity:
his cities are burnt without inhabitant; not only Jerusalem was burnt with fire, Jeremiah 52:13, but other cities in the land of Israel, so that they were not inhabited: or, "they were desolate or destroyed" f as the Septuagint version, so that none could dwell in them; and so the Targum,
"her cities are desolate, without inhabitant.''
Kimchi's father explains the word by צמחו, "budded", or brought forth herbs or plants; for desolate places bring up plants; where there is no inhabitant, grass grows.
e נתנו קולם "dederunt vocem suam", Montanus, Pagninus; "edunt rocem suam", Schmidt. f נצתה, κατεσκαφησαν, "desolatae sunt, [sive] destructae", Vatablus.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Upon him - Rather, against him. Israel has run away from his master’s house, but only to find himself exposed to the beasts of prey in the wilderness.
They made his land waste - The prophet points to the actual results of Israel’s until the multiplication of wild beasts rendered human life unsafe 2 Kings 17:25, but the Assyrian invasions had reduced Judaea to almost as sad a state.
Burned - Others render, “leveled to the ground.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 2:15. The young lions roared upon him — The Assyrians, who have sacked and destroyed the kingdom of Israel, with a fierceness like that of pouncing upon their prey.
