dol'-fool ('oach, "howling"): The "doleful creatures" referred to inIsa 13:21are probably "jackals," although some have suggested "leopard," or "hyena." The older English Versions of the Bible gives "great owls." The word rendered "doleful lamentation" inMic 2:4(niheyah) is simply a form of the word ordinarily translated "wailing" (nehi). Compare the King James Version margin.
