The word rendered Lion, signifies a stout Lion; Mr. Broughton renders, the hardy Lion; others, the old Lion, 1Wilt thou hunt the prey for the old Lion? and there's a double interpretation with respect to that translation, That either here is meant a Lion come up to his full strength, and so every way able to provide for himself; or, that by the old Lion, is meant a Lion g•own so old and weak with old age, that he can no longer provide for, nor hunt the prey for himself; and therefore the Lord saith, Wilt thou hunt the prey for the old Lion, that cannot hunt for himself? dost thou provide for the Lion, that cannot provide for himself? 'Tis I, who provide a prey for the old Lion, that cannot hunt the prey for himself. This is a good sense, and I shall touch it in the Observation.
