“Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”
And afor the dwelling places of the wilderness a lamentation,
Because they are burned up,
So that no one can pass through;
Nor can men hear the voice of the cattle.
bBoth the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled;
They are gone.
I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.”

Jeremiah 9:11
A den of dragons - tannim is supposed to mean here jackals; the chakal is a beast frequent in the east, an attendant on the lion, the refuse of whose prey he devours. It is an animal that seems to have been bred originally between the wolf and the dog. The original is sometimes interpreted, dragons, whales, etc.
