A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
I will also send wild beasts among you--This was one of the four judgments threatened (Eze 14:21; see also Kg2 2:4).

your highways shall be desolate--Trade and commerce will be destroyed--freedom and safety will be gone--neither stranger nor native will be found on the roads (Isa 33:8). This is an exact picture of the present state of the Holy Land, which has long lain in a state of desolation, brought on by the sins of the ancient Jews.

4 The first [06933] was like a lion [0744], and had eagle's [05403] wings [01611]: I beheld [01934] [02370] till [05705] the wings [01611] thereof were plucked [04804], and it was lifted up [05191] from [04481] the earth [0772], and made stand [06966] upon [05922] the feet [07271] as a man [0606], and a man's [0606] heart [03825] was given [03052] to it.
5 And behold [0718] another [0317] beast [02423], a second [08578], like [01821] to a bear [01678], and it raised up [06966] itself on one [02298] side [07859], and it had three [08532] ribs [05967] in the mouth [06433] of it between [0997] the teeth [08128] of it: and they said [0560] thus [03652] unto it, Arise [06966], devour [0399] much [07690] flesh [01321].
