Dear Jehovah God,
כווַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲבִימֶ֔לֶךְ לֹ֣א יָדַ֔עְתִּי מִ֥י עָשָׂ֖ה אֶת־הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֑ה וְגַם־אַתָּ֞ה לֹֽא־הִגַּ֣דְתָּ לִּ֗י וְגַ֧ם אָֽנֹכִ֛י לֹ֥א שָׁמַ֖עְתִּי בִּלְתִּ֥י הַיּֽוֹם:
“And Abimelech said, ‘I do not know who did this thing, neither did you tell me, nor did I hear of it until today. ‘"
Isaiah 13:21 – caves
But desert creatures lie down there, and their houses are full of owls; ostriches also live there, and shaggy goats frolic there.
Isaiah 34:11-15; Zephaniah 2:14; Revelation 18:2 – desert creatures
But pelican and hedgehog possess it, and owl and raven dwell in it; and You stretch over it the line of desolation and the plumb line of emptiness. Its nobles – there is no one there whom they may proclaim king – and all its princes are nothing. Thorns come up in its fortified towers, nettles and thistles in its fortified cities; it is also a haunt of jackals and an abode of ostriches. The desert creatures meet with the wolves, the hairy goat also cry to its kind; yes, the night monster settles there and finds herself a resting place. The tree snake makes its nest and lays eggs there, and it hatches and gathers them under its protection. Yes, the hawks gather there, every one with its kind.
Flocks lie down in her midst, all beasts which range in herds; both the pelican and the hedgehog lodge in the tops of her pillars; birds sing in the window, desolation is on the threshold; for You lay bare the cedar work.
And he cries out with a mighty voice, saying that fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She becomes a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird.
Intention of this prayer: desert creatures.
But desert creatures lie down there, and their houses are full of howling creatures; ostriches also live there, and goat demons frolic there. But owl or jackdaw and hedgehog possess it, and great horned owl and raven dwell in it; and You stretch over it the line of formlessness and the stones of void. Its nobles – there is no one there, they may proclaim king – and all its princes are nothing. Thorns come up in its fortified towers, nettles and thistles in its fortified cities; it is also a haunt of jackals, an abode of ostriches. The desert creatures meet with the howling creatures, the demon also cry to its kind; yes, the Lilith settles there and finds herself a resting place. The tree snake makes its nest and lays there, and it hatches and gathers under its shade. Yes, the kites gather there, every one with its kind.
Flocks lie down in her midst, all kinds of bests in crowds; literally every kind of beast of a nation, all beasts which range in herds; both the owl or jackdaw and the hedgehog lodge in her capitals; a voice sings in the window, desolation on the threshold; for You lay bare the cedar work. And he cries out with a mighty voice, saying that Babylon the great, all false religion, falls, falls! She becomes a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird.
You are Omnipotent. Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it. I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. By the WORD of Your Jehovah the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear You Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of You. You, Jehovah God, possess all power.
You are Holy. I shall be holy, for You Jehovah my God are holy. Therefore, listen to me, we men of understanding. Far be it from You God Jehovah to do wickedness, and from the Almighty to do wrong. Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is Your name, the Holy One of Israel. You are the high and exalted One who lives forever whose name is Holy. You dwell on a high and holy place, and also with the contrite and lowly of spirit in order to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite. You Jehovah God are a morally excellent perfect being. You are totally other than man! You are purity of being in every aspect.
You are Jehovah God, Jehovah the One and Only!
