Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the thickets of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will arraign me? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?

Swelling. Literally, "pride "(Haydock) or those banks which the Jordan reaches, when it overflows. They are lined with woods, from which lions rush to devour the sheep. (Calmet)
Strong "one's dwelling. "(Hebrew) (Haydock) (Zacharias xi. 3.)
Over her. What sort of men come to the attack? or, who shall dare to resist them? (Calmet)
