Isaiah 11:6-10

New International Version

⁶The wolf will live with the lamb,^(A)
    the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling^[a] together;
    and a little child will lead them.
⁷The cow will feed with the bear,
    their young will lie down together,
    and the lion will eat straw like the ox.^(B)
⁸The infant^(C) will play near the cobra’s den,
    and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s^(D) nest.
⁹They will neither harm nor destroy^(E)
    on all my holy mountain,^(F)
for the earth^(G) will be filled with the knowledge^(H) of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.

¹⁰In that day^(I) the Root of Jesse^(J) will stand as a banner^(K) for the peoples; the nations^(L) will rally to him,^(M) and his resting place^(N) will be glorious.^(O)

Present Suffering and Future Glory

¹⁸I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.^(A) ¹⁹For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God^(B) to be revealed. ²⁰For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it,^(C) in hope ²¹that^[a] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay^(D) and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.^(E)
