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 Sus nobles (y allí no hay ninguno a quien puedan proclamar rey) y todos sus príncipes serán nada.
13 Espinos crecerán en sus palacios, ortigas y cardos en sus ciudades fortificadas; será también guarida de chacales y morada de crías de avestruz.
14 Las fieras del desierto se encontrarán con las hienas, el macho cabrío llamará a los de su especie; sí, el monstruo nocturno se establecerá allí, y encontrará para sí lugar de reposo.
15 Allí la serpiente anidará y pondrá sus huevos, los incubará y juntará su cría bajo su sombra; también allí se juntarán los halcones, cada uno con su compañera.
16 Buscad en el libro del SEÑOR, y leed: Ninguno de ellos faltará, ninguno carecerá de su compañera. Porque su boca lo ha mandado, y su Espíritu los ha reunido.
