Isaiah 65:23-25
Contemporary English Version
23 Their work won't be wasted,
and their children won't die
of dreadful diseases.[a]
I will bless their children
and their grandchildren.
24 I will answer their prayers
before they finish praying.
25 (A) Wolves and lambs
will graze together;
lions and oxen
will feed on straw.
Snakes will eat only dirt!
They won't bite or harm anyone
on my holy mountain.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
