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 J'enverrai contre vous les animaux des champs, qui vous priveront de vos enfants, qui détruiront votre bétail, et qui vous réduiront à un petit nombre; et vos chemins seront déserts.
