²³ They shall not labor in vain,
^(A)Nor bring forth children for trouble;
For ^(B)they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord,
And their offspring with them.

²⁵ The ^(A)wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
The lion shall eat straw like the ox,
^(B)And dust shall be the serpent’s food.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,”
Says the Lord.

¹⁸ In that day I will make a ^(A)covenant for them
With the beasts of the field,
With the birds of the air,
And with the creeping things of the ground.
Bow and sword of battle ^(B)I will shatter from the earth,
To make them ^(C)lie down safely.
