עָלָיו֙ יִשְׁאֲג֣וּ כְפִרִ֔ים נָתְנ֖וּ קוֹלָ֑ם וַיָּשִׁ֤יתוּ אַרְצוֹ֙ לְשַׁמָּ֔ה עָרָ֥יו נצתה [נִצְּת֖וּ] מִבְּלִ֥י יֹשֵֽׁב׃
אױף אים ברילן די יונגלײַבן, זײ לאָזן אַרױס זײער קָול, און זײ האָבן געמאַכט זײַן לאַנד צו װיסט; זײַנע שטעט זײַנע כָרב, אָן אַ באַװױנער.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Lions have roared over him, have raised their cries, etc.” [2:15]. That is to say, Israel asks why have they become so humbled that the strong nations shout over them, like the lions and wild animals and they destroy his land. Their cities are desolate and nobody is in them.
