The consequences of these wild predatory animals are devastating. They will devour young children, making the Hebrews childless. The ferocity of these roaming beasts will cause the nation to diminish in number. Due to the paralyzing fear of these animals, the roads will not be used for trade or commerce. Moreover, these beasts will consume the nation’s livestock, reducing their food supply.
22 And I will let loose the wild beasts against you, which shall bereave you of your children and destroy your livestock and make you few in number, so that your roads shall be deserted.
