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. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
I will also send wild beasts among you - God fulfilled these threatenings at different times. He sent fiery Serpents among them, Num 21:6; Lions, Kg2 17:25; Bears, Kg2 2:24, and threatened them with total desolation, so that their land should be overrun with wild beasts, etc., see Eze 5:17. "Spiritually," says Mr. Ainsworth, "these are wicked rulers and tyrants that kill and spoil, Pro 28:15; Dan 7:3-6; Psa 80:13; and false prophets that devour souls, Mat 7:15; Rev 13:1, etc. So the prophet, speaking of their punishment by tyrants, says: A Lion out of the forest shall slay them; a Wolf of the evening shall spoil them; a Leopard shall watch over their cities; every one that goeth out thence shall be torn to pieces, because their transgressions be many. And of their prophets it is said: O Israel, thy prophets are like Foxes in the deserts, Eze 13:4; Jer 8:17; Jer 15:3." |

4 And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto him, Elisha [0477], tarry [03427] here, I pray thee; for the LORD [03068] hath sent [07971] me to Jericho [03405]. And he said [0559], As the LORD [03068] liveth [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], I will not leave [05800] thee. So they came [0935] to Jericho [03405].
21 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; How much more when I send [07971] my four [0702] sore [07451] judgments [08201] upon Jerusalem [03389], the sword [02719], and the famine [07458], and the noisome [07451] beast [02416], and the pestilence [01698], to cut off [03772] from it man [0120] and beast [0929]?

3 And four [0703] great [07260] beasts [02423] came up [05559] from [04481] the sea [03221], diverse [08133] one [01668] from [04481] another [01668].
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.

24 And he turned [06437] back [0310], and looked [07200] on them, and cursed [07043] them in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]. And there came forth [03318] two [08147] she bears [01677] out of the wood [03293], and tare [01234] forty [0705] and two [08147] children [03206] of them.
