Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 34:14

"And the wild beasts of the desert shall meet with the wolves, and the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; yea, the night-monster shall settle there, and shall find her a place of rest." — Isaiah 34:14 (ASV)

The wild beasts of the desert ... —Better, wild cats or hyenas shall meet wolves. The nouns that follow belong, apparently, to the region of mythical zoology.

The English “satyr” expresses fairly enough the idea of a “demon-brute” haunting the waste places of the palaces of Edom, while the “screech-owl” is the Lilith, the she-vampire, who appears in the legends of the Talmud as having been Adam’s first wife, who left him and was turned into a demon. With the later Jews, Lilith, as sucking the blood of children, was the bugbear of the nursery. Night-vampire would, perhaps, be the best rendering.
