Isaiah 13:22
Last week, as I was flipping through my Bible, I happened to notice some alliteration in Isaiah 13:22: "Hyenas will cry in its towers, and jackals in the pleasant palaces; its time is close at hand and its days will not be prolonged."
Like I noticed with Psalm 16:6 about a year ago
, the euphony of "pleasant palaces" matches the meaning of the words.
I lookt up the Hebrew and discovered that this feature is not present there.
