Commentary

 

Wild beasts of the desert, doleful creatures, owls, satyrs, beasts of the islands, dragons

  

'Wild beasts of the desert,' 'doleful creatures,' 'owls,' 'satyrs,' 'wild beasts of the islands,' and 'dragons,' as in Isaiah 13:21-22, signify when the interior aspects of worship pertain to self-love, or proprium.
