Howling; shrieking.But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of DOLEFUL creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. ( Isaiah 13:21 )
DOLEFUL
dol'-fool ('oach, "howling"):
The "doleful creatures" referred to in Isaiah 13:21 are probably "jackals," although some have suggested "leopard," or "hyena." The older English Versions of the Bible gives "great owls." The word rendered "doleful lamentation" in Micah 2:4 (niheyah) is simply a form of the word ordinarily translated "wailing" (nehi). Compare the King James Version margin.
