36 But now, thus says the Lord:
I will certainly defend your cause,
    I will certainly avenge you;
I will dry up her sea,
    and drain her fountain.

    a haunt of jackals;
A place of horror and hissing,
    without inhabitants.(A)
38 They roar like lions,
    growl like lion cubs.(B)

    they growl like lion cubs.
