General Information:

Isaiah continues to describe the army that will attack Judah (Isaiah 5:26).

young lions

A young age is a metonym for strength. Alternate translation: "the strongest lions" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)

They will growl and seize the prey

Isaiah compares the enemy killing the people of Judah to a lion killing a weaker animal. Possible meanings are 1) lions make a sound not as loud as a roar just before they strike, or 2) the writer is using two words to mean the same thing. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet)
