Barnes' Notes
Upon him - Rather, against him. Israel has run away from his master' s house, but only to find himself exposed to the beasts of prey in the wilderness.
They made his land waste - The prophet points to the actual results of Israel' s until the multiplication of wild beasts rendered human life unsafe II Kings 17:25, but the Assyrian invasions had reduced Judaea to almost as sad a state.
Burned - Others render, "leveled to the ground."
