“Even jackals take out a breast, nurse their pups; the daughter of my people has become cruel, like ostriches in the wilderness” (Lamentations 4:3).“Even jackals take out a breast, nurse their pups.” These jackals have a sort of face covering when they nurse their young, so they not see their young when they are red,17To avoid the possibility of confusing them with another species. and devour them.18Thus, even the cruel jackal nurses its young, yet the Israelites did not have pity on their young.
