'Beasts' in the Bible

Look at the land of the Chaldeans—a people who no longer exist.Assyria destined it for desert creatures.They set up their siege towersand stripped its palaces.They made it a ruin.

The desert creatures will meet hyenas,and one wild goat will call to another.Indeed, the screech owl will stay thereand will find a resting place for herself.

Bel crouches; Nebo cowers.Their idols are consigned to beasts and cattle.The images you carry are loaded,as a burden for the weary animal.
