Easton's Bible Dictionary

Doleful creatures: (occurring only Isaiah 13:21. Hebrews ochim, i.e., "shrieks;" hence "howling animals"), a general name for screech owls (howlets), which occupy the desolate palaces of Babylon. Some render the word "hyaenas."

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

(a.) Full of grief; melancholy; sorrowful; sad; dismal.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

DOLEFUL

dol'-fool ('oach, "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 (niheyah) is simply a form of the word ordinarily translated "wailing" (nehi). Compare the King James Version margin.
