Lilith, a woodcut on paper by Ernst Barlach, c. 1922.
Wildcats and hyenas will hunt together, demons will scream to demons, [the lilith also shall settle there...] and creatures of the night will live among the ruins [of Edom]. ~Isaiah 34:14 CEV, Darby Evil lies, for Lilith you are a demon's dire device, sent straight from the devil's pit to beguil fair Eve and Adam; the fools of Eden fast succumbed to the lure of your beauty, ignoring the tongue of the snake speaking God- damned words of deceit; Did God not say you can be like us if you eat from the tree? So eat, know and follow us, gain all knowlege and wisdom; beautiful Lilith will be your one guide~ straight into hellfire if only they'd known it, if ears had listened and heard it, that God's pre-given love gift was kinship with Him.

Striking and powerful language, Chetta, "a demon's dire device, sent straight from the devil's pit", "Lilith will be your one guide~ straight into hellfire"

A spider, toying with her prey, before tossing in fiery flames. Nicely done Chetta! :)
