Isaiah 56:9

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Beasts of the field … beasts in the forest; i.e. "all wild beasts of whatever kind"—all the enemies of God's flock (see Jeremiah 12:9; Ezekiel 34:8). Come to devour. Make haste, now is your opportunity.

The people have none to protect them, and will be an easy prey. Come, set to work; devour.
