“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.

And a wolf shall stay[a] with a lamb,
    and a leopard shall lie down with a kid,
and a calf and a lion and a fatling together
    as a small boy leads[b] them.
And a cow and a bear shall graze;
    their young shall lie down together.
    And a lion shall eat straw like the cattle.
And an infant[c] shall play over a serpent’s hole,
    and a toddler[d] shall put his hand on a viper’s hole.
They will not injure and they will not destroy on all of my holy mountain,[e]
    for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh,
        as the waters cover the sea.
