the leopard shall lie down with the kid;

and a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
their young shall lie down together;
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child shall play over the hole of the asp,
and the weaned child shall put its hand on the adder’s den.

on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.(A)
