A lion — Nebuchadnezzar and the Chaldean army are here pointed at under the metaphor of beasts of prey of three kinds; compared to a lion, which denotes his great power, courage, and pride. A wolf — For their greediness and unsatiableness. A leopard — The Chaldean army is compared to a leopard, not for its speed only, but for its vigilancy and subtilty.
