  1. Ezekiel 37:26 Lit. cut

“The(A) wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.
The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.
(B)They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
For (C)the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.
