9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
9 Come, all you beasts of the field, come and devour, all you beasts of the forest!
9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour-- all you beasts in the forest.
9 A call to the savage beasts: Come on the run. Come, devour, beast barbarians!
9 All you beasts of the field, come to devour, All you beasts in the forest.
9 Come, wild animals of the field! Come, wild animals of the forest! Come and devour my people!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 56:9
Commentary on Isaiah 56:9-12
(Read Isaiah 56:9-12)
Desolating judgments are called for; and this severe rebuke of the rulers and teachers of the Jewish church, is applicable to other ages and places. It is bad with a people when their shepherds slumber, and are eager after the world. Let us pray the Great Shepherd to send us pastors after his own heart, who will feed us with knowledge, that we may rejoice in his holy name, and that believers may be daily added to the church.
