以賽亞書 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.

12 以 東 人 要 召 貴 冑 來 治 國 ; 那 裡 卻 無 一 個 , 首 領 也 都 歸 於 無 有 。
13 以 東 的 宮 殿 要 長 荊 棘 ; 保 障 要 長 蒺 藜 和 刺 草 ; 要 作 野 狗 的 住 處 , 鴕 鳥 的 居 所 。
14 曠 野 的 走 獸 要 和 豺 狼 相 遇 ; 野 山 羊 要 與 伴 偶 對 叫 。 夜 間 的 怪 物 必 在 那 裡 棲 身 , 自 找 安 歇 之 處 。
15 箭 蛇 要 在 那 裡 做 窩 , 下 蛋 , 菢 蛋 , 生 子 , 聚 子 在 其 影 下 ; 鷂 鷹 各 與 伴 偶 聚 集 在 那 裡 。
16 你 們 要 查 考 宣 讀 耶 和 華 的 書 。 這 都 無 一 缺 少 , 無 一 沒 有 伴 偶 ; 因 為 我 的 口 已 經 吩 咐 , 他 的 靈 將 他 們 聚 集 。
