Editing Lilith (section)

=== English versions ===
[[Wycliffe's Bible]] (1395) preserves the Latin rendering {{lang|la|lamia}}:

{{blockquote|Isa 34:15 {{lang|enm|'''Lamya''' schal ligge there, and foond rest there to hir silf.}}}}

The [[Bishops' Bible]] of [[Matthew Parker]] (1568) from the Latin:

{{blockquote|Isa 34:14 there shall the '''Lamia''' lye and haue her lodgyng.}}

[[Douay–Rheims Bible]] (1582/1610) also preserves the Latin rendering {{lang|la|lamia}}:

{{blockquote|Isa 34:14 And demons and monsters shall meet, and the hairy ones shall cry out one to another, there hath the lamia lain down, and found rest for herself.}}

The [[Geneva Bible]] of [[William Whittingham]] (1587) from the Hebrew:

{{blockquote|Isa 34:14 and the '''screech owl''' shall rest there, and shall finde for her selfe a quiet dwelling.}}

Then the [[King James Version]] (1611):

{{blockquote|Isa 34:14 The wild [[wikt:beast|beasts]] of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the [[island]], and the [[satyr]] shall cry to his fellow; the '''[[screech owl]]''' also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.}}

The "screech owl" translation of the King James Version is, together with the "owl" ({{Transliteration|he|yanšup}}, probably a water bird) in 34:11 and the "great owl" ({{Transliteration|he|qippoz}}, translated in other versions as a snake) of 34:15, an attempt to render the passage by choosing suitable animals for difficult to translate Hebrew words.
