This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
wild beasts - Hebrew, tsiyim, animals dwelling in arid wastes. Wild cats, remarkable for their howl [Bochart].
doleful creatures - “howling beasts,” literally, “howlings” [Maurer].
owls - rather, “ostriches”; a timorous creature, delighting in solitary deserts and making a hideous noise [Bochart].
satyrs - sylvan demi-gods - half man, half goat - believed by the Arabs to haunt these ruins; probably animals of the goat-ape species [Vitringa]. Devil-worshippers, who dance amid the ruins on a certain night [J. Wolff].
