Isaiah 34:13-16

Isaiah names many animals and birds in the original language of these verses (and also in verse 11). But to identify animals and birds in the Bible with modern names is a very uncertain task!

• The animals and birds in these verses do have some things in common. They like to live among buildings that armies have ruined. And they appear in the list of foods that God’s people must not eat (see Leviticus 11:13-19).
