The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. As "bulls" in, Psalms 68:30, symbolize Gentile enemies; the "dragon" or crocodile (Ezekiel 29:3), Pharaoh; the "eagle" (Ezekiel 17:3), Nebuchadnezzer; so hero the "boar" and "wild beast" represent the King of Assyria and his subject nations respectively.
