the wild beast--other heathen.

Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
The boar out of the wood - Men come in and ravage the land, whose character may be compared with the wild boar. The word rendered boar means simply swine. The addition of the phrase "out of the wood" determines its meaning here, and shows that the reference is to wild or untamed swine; swine that roam the woods - an animal always extremely fierce and savage. Doth waste it - The word used here occurs nowhere else. It means to cut down or cut off; to devour; to lay waste. And the wild beast of the field - Of the unenclosed field; or, that roams at large - such as lions, panthers, tigers, wolves. The word here used - זיז zı̂yz - occurs besides only in Psa 50:11; and Isa 66:11. In Isa 66:11, it is rendered abundance. Doth devour it - So the people from abroad consumed all that the land produced, or thus they laid it waste.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
The boar out of the wood - Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who was a fierce and cruel sovereign. The allusion is plain. The wild hops and buffaloes make sad havoc in the fields of the Hindoos, and in their orchards: to keep them out, men are placed at night on covered stages in the fields.
