(Some words not found in UHB: lick dust like_the,snake like,crawling_of earth/land come_trembling out_of,fortresses_of,their to/towards YHWH God_of,our turn_in_dread and,afraid of,you )
The people are spoken of as if they were animals, because animals live in “dens.” Alternate translation: “their homes” or “their hiding places”
7:17 Like snakes, the nations had struck at the heel of Israel (cp. Gen 3:14-15). The prophets regularly depicted foreign nations as poisonous, deceitful serpents (Isa 14:29; Jer 8:17; Ezek 29:1-3). Now these nations would be humbled (cp. Ps 72:9). Crawling and “eating dust” were metaphors for defeat and humiliation.
