Doleful
Doleful
dolfool (, ‘oah, howling): The doleful creatures referred to in Isa 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 Mic 2:4 (niheyah) is simply a form of the word ordinarily translated wailing (neh).
