But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there—the transformation of Babylon from human habitation into the domain of wild animals, with the former city becoming a lair for creatures of desolation. The dancing of satyrs (demonic creatures) suggests the reversal of civilization into wilderness and chaos. This verse paints a haunting picture of civilization overcome by desolation.
