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.
