With arrows and with bows shall [men] come thither
For fear of wild beasts, serpents, and scorpions, as Jarchi; or in order to hunt them, as others; or because of thieves and robbers, as Aben Ezra: because all the land shall become briers and thorns;
among which such creatures, and such sort of men, would hide themselves.
