Pourquoi as-tu rompu ses clôtures, en sorte que tous les passants la pillent?
Le sanglier de la foręt la ronge, Et les bętes des champs en font leur pâture.
Les sangliers de la foręt l'ont détruite, et toutes sortes de bętes sauvages l'ont broutée.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
The boar: This wild boar, chazir, is the parent stock of our domestic hog. He is much smaller, but stronger, and more undaunted, colour, an iron grey inclining to black; snout, longer than that of the common breed: ears comparatively short; tusks, very formidable; and habits, fierce and savage. He is particularly destructive to corn-fields and vineyards. 2 Kings 18:1 - 2 Kings 19:37, 2 Kings 24:1 - 2 Kings 25:30, 2 Chronicles 32:1-33, 2 Chronicles 36:1-23, Jeremiah 4:7, Jeremiah 39:1-3, Jeremiah 51:34, Jeremiah 52:7, Jeremiah 52:12-14

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The boar out of the wood doth waste it,.... As Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, who carried the ten tribes captive; the title of this psalm in the Septuagint version is, a psalm for the Assyrian. Vitringa, on Isaiah 24:2 interprets this of Antiochus Epiphanes, to whose times he thinks the psalm refers; but the Jews r of the fourth beast in Daniel 7:7, which designs the Roman empire: the wild boar is alluded to, which lives in woods and forests s, and wastes, fields, and vineyards:
and the wild beast of the field doth devour it; as Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who carried the two tribes captive, and who for a while lived among and lived as the beasts of the field; both these, in their turns, wasted and devoured the people of Israel; see Jeremiah 50:17. Jarchi interprets this of Esau or Edom, that is, Rome; and says the whole of the paragraph respects the Roman captivity; that is, their present one; but rather the words describe the persecutors of the Christian church in general, comparable to wild boars and wild beasts for their fierceness and cruelty; and perhaps, in particular, Rome Pagan may be pointed at by the one, and Rome Papal by the other; though the latter is signified by two beasts, one that rose out of the sea, and the other out of the earth; which have made dreadful havoc of the church of Christ, his vine, and have shed the blood of the saints in great abundance; see Revelation 12:3, unless we should rather by the one understand the pope, and by the other the Turk, as the Jews interpret them of Esau and of Ishmael.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The boar out of the wood - Men come in and ravage the land, whose character may be compared with the wild boar. The word rendered boar means simply swine. The addition of the phrase “out of the wood” determines its meaning here, and shows that the reference is to wild or untamed swine; swine that roam the woods - an animal always extremely fierce and savage.
Doth waste it - The word used here occurs nowhere else. It means to cut down or cut off; to devour; to lay waste.
And the wild beast of the field - Of the unenclosed field; or, that roams at large - such as lions, panthers, tigers, wolves. The word here used - זיז zı̂yz - occurs besides only in Psalms 50:11; and Isaiah 66:11. In Isaiah 66:11, it is rendered abundance.
Doth devour it - So the people from abroad consumed all that the land produced, or thus they laid it waste.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 80:13. The boar out of the wood — Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who was a fierce and cruel sovereign. The allusion is plain. The wild hogs and buffaloes make sad havoc in the fields of the Hindoos, and in their orchards: to keep them out, men are placed at night on covered stages in the fields.
