Righteousness will be his belt(A)
    and faithfulness(B) the sash around his waist.(C)

The wolf will live with the lamb,(D)
    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.
The cow will feed with the bear,
    their young will lie down together,
    and the lion will eat straw like the ox.(E)
The infant(F) will play near the cobra’s den,
    and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s(G) nest.
They will neither harm nor destroy(H)
    on all my holy mountain,(I)
for the earth(J) will be filled with the knowledge(K) of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 11:6 Hebrew; Septuagint lion will feed

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
