Isaiah 56:9 Douay-Rheims

All ye beasts of the field come to devour, all ye beasts of the forest.

Ibn Ezra

1089–1167 Jewish

All ye beasts of the field, etc. The idea connecting the following with the preceding verses is, that the righteous Israelites and the proselytes will return, but those that persevere in the worship of idols will not return. אתיו Come. It is imperative (comp. 21:12) of אתה to come; comp. ואתה, and He came (Deut. 33:2). God summons the idolatrous wicked nations, to come and devour the wicked of Israel, like wild beasts that devour each other.

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
