Isaiah 14:23

Context

14:23 “I will turn her into a place that is overrun with wild animals 1 

and covered with pools of stagnant water.

I will get rid of her, just as one sweeps away dirt with a broom,” 2 

says the Lord who commands armies.

1 tn Heb “I will make her into a possession of wild animals.” It is uncertain what type of animal קִפֹּד (qippod) refers to. Some suggest a rodent (cf. NASB, NRSV “hedgehog”), others an owl (cf, NAB, NIV, TEV).

2 tn Heb “I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction.”
