'Towers' in the Bible

Hyenas will howl in their fortified towersAnd jackals in their luxurious palaces.Her fateful time also will soon comeAnd her days will not be prolonged.

Behold, the land of the Chaldeans—this is the people which was not; Assyria appointed it for desert creatures—they erected their siege towers, they stripped its palaces, they made it a ruin.

I will camp against you encircling you,And I will set siegeworks against you,And I will raise up battle towers against you.

On every lofty mountain and on every high hill there will be streams running with water on the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

Your heart will meditate on terror:“Where is he who counts?Where is he who weighs?Where is he who counts the towers?”

Thorns will come up in its fortified towers,Nettles and thistles in its fortified cities;It will also be a haunt of jackalsAnd an abode of ostriches.
