Isaías 34:14 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 34:14

The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the
wild beasts of the islands
In Rome, and take up their abode there; of these creatures, the first of which the Targum renders monstrous ones, and the latter wild cats, (See Gill on Isaiah 13:22): and the satyr shall cry to his fellow;
or the "hairy" one F18; from which word the goat has its name; and these creatures are described by the ancients as half goats and half men; of which (See Gill on Isaiah 13:21). The Targum renders it demons; and with this well agrees the account of Babylon or Rome as fallen, that it shall be the habitation of, devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, ( Revelation 18:2 ) : the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place
of rest;
there being no inhabitants to disturb her. By the name "Lilith", it appears to be a night bird, which flies and is heard in the night. The Jews call a she demon by this name, which, they say {s}, has a human face, and has wings, and destroys children as soon as born; and therefore the Jews, especially in Germany, write upon the four corners of the bed of a new mother, Adam, Eve, out Lilith F20; the same with the Lamia of the Romans; and so the Vulgate Latin here renders it.

Isaías 34:14 In-Context

12 Eles chamarão ao reino os seus nobres, mas nenhum haverá; e todos os seus príncipes não serão coisa nenhuma.
13 E crescerão espinhos nos seus palácios, urtigas e cardos nas suas fortalezas; e será uma habitação de chacais, um sítio para avestruzes.
14 E as feras do deserto se encontrarão com hienas; e o sátiro clamará ao seu companheiro; e Lilite pousará ali, e achará lugar de repouso para si.
15 Ali fará a coruja o seu ninho, e porá os seus ovos, e aninhará os seus filhotes, e os recolherá debaixo da sua sombra; também ali se ajuntarão os abutres, cada fêmea com o seu companheiro.
16 Buscai no livro do Senhor, e lede: nenhuma destas criaturas faltará, nenhuma será privada do seu companheiro; porque é a boca dele que o ordenou, e é o seu espírito que os ajuntou.
