Wilt thou fill the appetite of the young Lion? Some translate it, Wilt thou fill the company, or troop of young Lions? that is, all the Lions that are in the den. The word signifies a company or troop, so its rendered (Psal. 68.30.) Rebukes the company of spear-men, or of those that carry the cane. 1But though the word may signify a company, yet it is not so used, but where it refers (as in that Psalm) to a company of men; and therefore, though that be a good sense, and may well be included in our Translation, which being (according to the Text) in the plural number, young Lions, takes in the whole company, how many soever they are. Wilt thou fill the company of the young Lions? canst thou give all the whelps in the kennel their dinner or supper? yet I rather adhere to those, who render the word Appetite, as we do, than to those who render it Company.
