Exegesis
The final clause shifts the grammatical subject to khayyat hassadeh {חַיַּ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה | ḥayyat haś-śā-ḏeh} ‘beast of the field’, and the third person feminine singular verb tevaqem {תְּבַקְּעֵֽם | təvaqqəʿēm} ‘she will rip them open’ treats the collective “beast” as a feminine singular, keeping the Hebrew personification while allowing a natural English subject (“a wild animal”).
In context — Hosea 13:8
I will meet them like a bereaved bear, and I will tear open the covering of their heart; there I will devour them like a lion, and the beast of the field will rip them open.
