dōl´fool ( אה , 'ōaḥ , "howling"): The "doleful creatures" referred to in Isaiah 13:21 are probably "jackals," although some have suggested "leopard," or "hyena." The older English Versions of the Bible gives "great owls." The word rendered "doleful lamentation" in Micah 2:4 ( niheyāh ) is simply a form of the word ordinarily translated "wailing" (nehı̄ ). Compare the King James Version margin.
