Isaiah 11:6-14

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.

¹¹At that time, Yahweh will ◄reach out his hand/use his power► as he did long ago; he will enable those who had been ◄exiled from/forced to leave► Israel to return home, from Assyria, from northern Egypt, from southern Egypt, from Ethiopia, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath, and from all the distant countries near the sea.

¹²Yahweh will raise his flag among all the people-groups, and he will gather together the people of Israel who had been exiled long ago. He will gather from very distant places IDM on the earth the people of Judah who ◄had been scattered to/are living in► those places.

¹³Then, the people of Israel and the people of Judah will not be jealous of each other any longer, and they will no longer be enemies of each other.

¹⁴Their armies will join together to attack the people of Philistia to the west. And together they will attack nations to the east; they will defeat those nations and take away all their valuable possessions. They will capture the areas of Edom and Moab, and the people of the Ammon people-group will be controlled/ruled by the people of Israel and Judah.
