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 no tendrán allínada que pueda llamarse reino;todos sus príncipes desaparecerán.

13 Los espinos invadirán sus palacios;las ortigas y las zarzas, sus fortalezas.Se volverá guarida de chacalesy nido de avestruces.

14 Las fieras del desierto se juntarán con las hienas,y las cabras monteses se llamarán unas a otras;allí también reposarán las aves nocturnasy encontrarán un lugar de descanso.

15 Allí el búho anidará y pondrá sus huevos;bajo sus alas incubará y cuidará a sus crías.También allí se reunirán los buitres,cada cual con su pareja.

16 Consulten el libro del SEÑOR y lean:Ninguno de estos animales faltará;cada cual tendrá su pareja.El SEÑOR mismo ha dado la orden,y su Espíritu los ha de reunir.
