Isaiah 11:5-10

⁵He will always act righteously; his doing that will accompany him like MET a belt around his waist. He will always speak what is true; his doing that will accompany him like MET a sash around his waist.

⁶When he becomes king, wolves and lambs will live together peacefully; leopards, instead of killing baby goats, will lie down with them. Similarly, calves and lions will eat food together; and a young child will take care of them.

⁷Cows and bears will eat together; bear cubs and calves will lie down together. Lions will not eat other animals; instead, they will eat hay like cows do.

⁸Babies will play safely near the holes where cobra snakes live; small children will even put their hands into nests of poisonous snakes, and the snakes will not harm them.

⁹No creatures will harm or kill other creatures on Zion Hill, my holy hill; and the earth will be filled with people who know Yahweh like SIM the seas are full of water.

¹⁰At that time, a descendant of King David will hold up a flag to signal to the people of all people-groups that they should gather around him; they will come to him to get his advice, and the place where he lives will be glorious.
