The imagery in Isaiah paints a vivid picture of a land left to the wild, where creatures like hyenas and wild goats roam freely. The mention of night creatures, often translated as mythical beings, adds an element of mystery and otherworldliness to the scene. This desolate environment is often seen as a result of divine judgment, reflecting the consequences of turning away from righteousness. However, the presence of these animals also suggests a natural order, where even in abandonment, life continues and finds a way to thrive. This can be seen as a metaphor for resilience and the ability to find rest and peace in unexpected places. It encourages reflection on the cycles of life and the potential for renewal and harmony, even in the midst of chaos. The passage invites us to consider how we can find balance and tranquility in our own lives, regardless of the circumstances we face, and to trust in the natural order and divine plan that sustains all creation.
Desert creatures will meet with hyenas, and wild goats will bleat to each other; there the night creatures will also repose and find for themselves places of rest.
