they growl, roar (like young lions)
Jeremiah 51:38 uses animal imagery to describe Babylon's warriors: 'Together they shall roar like lions; they shall growl like lions' cubs.' The verb captures the throaty, threatening sound of big cats—not the full-throated roar of adults but the snarling growl of aggressive young lions. Jeremiah prophecies Babylon's destruction with bitter irony: these growling predators will be made drunk and put to perpetual sleep. Their fierce sounds will cease. The onomatopoetic quality of the verb may echo the actual sound—the guttural snarl before the attack.

1. sense 1 — This Qal perfect third plural in Jeremiah 51:38 appears in a lion simile describing Babylonian warriors. Spanish 'gruñirán' (they will growl) captures the menacing animal vocalization. The verb parallels sha'ag (roar), creating an intensification from young lions' growls to mature lions' roars. The rare verb (appearing only here) adds specificity to the imagery—not generic animal sounds but the particular threatening rumble of lions preparing to attack. 1×
