Haydock's commentary
Thereof. Hebrew leb kamai, "of the heart, rising up against me." (Haydock)
Many take Leb-kamai to be the enigmatical name of the Chaldeans, by a secret combination of letters, (Kimchi; Grotius) as if they were not clearly designated in the sequel. (Calmet)
The prophet expresses more pointedly what he had declared in the preceding chapter. (Worthington)
