Midrasch zu Wajikra 26:22
וְהִשְׁלַחְתִּ֨י בָכֶ֜ם אֶת־חַיַּ֤ת הַשָּׂדֶה֙ וְשִׁכְּלָ֣ה אֶתְכֶ֔ם וְהִכְרִ֙יתָה֙ אֶת־בְּהֶמְתְּכֶ֔ם וְהִמְעִ֖יטָה אֶתְכֶ֑ם וְנָשַׁ֖מּוּ דַּרְכֵיכֶֽם׃
Ich werde über euch loslassen die wilden Tiere des Feldes, dass sie euch kinderlos machen und euer Vieh verzehren und euch aufreiben, und dass verödet werden eure Wege.
Sifra
6) (Vayikra 26:22) "And I will send against you the beast of the field": This tells me only of a beast of prey. Whence do I derive (the same for) an animal that is not a beast of prey? From (Devarim 32:24) "And the tooth of beasts I will send against them." I might think that they will bite but not kill; it is, therefore, written (Devarim 32:24) "with the venom of the crawlers in the dust." Just as these bite and kill, so, those (Vayikra, Ibid.)
