Isaiah34:14
14. wild beasts of the desert ... island--rather, "wild cats ... jackals" (Is 13:21).
screech owl--rather, "the night specter"; in Jewish superstition a female, elegantly dressed, that carried off children by night. The text does not assert the existence of such objects of superstition, but describes the place as one which superstition would people with such beings.
