Not many people go looking for skunks, but just in case you are looking for a skunk in the Bible, we looked for you. The only appearance our smelly little friend the skunk makes in the Bible in any form is a one time mention in a translation known as (The Message Bible). It should be noted this version is a paraphrase of the Bible.
The Message Bible (Isaiah 34:11)
Vultures and skunks will police the streets; owls and crows will feel at home there. God will reverse creation. Chaos! He will cancel fertility. Emptiness!
No Skunks In Other Versions Of The Bible
Looking at this same scripture in all other major versions of the Bible will show that none of them translate the verse with skunks in it.
(Isaiah 34:11) The desert owl and screech owl will possess it; the great owl and the raven will nest there. God will stretch out over Edom the measuring line of chaos and the plumb line of desolation. (New International Version)
But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it, Also the owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And He shall stretch out over it The line of confusion and the stones of emptiness. (New King James Version)
