Definitions for Jeremiah 9:11
Clarke's Jeremiah 9:11 Bible Commentary
A den of dragons - תנים tannim is supposed to mean here jackals; the chakal is a beast frequent in the east, an attendant on the lion, the refuse of whose prey he devours. It is an animal that seems to have been bred originally between the wolf and the dog. The original is sometimes interpreted, dragons, whales, etc.
Barnes's Jeremiah 9:11 Bible Commentary
Dragons - Rather, jackals.
