²⁵ The wolf and the lamb^(A) will feed together,
    and the lion will eat straw like the ox,^(B)
    and dust will be the serpent’s^(C) food.
They will neither harm nor destroy
    on all my holy mountain,”^(D)
says the Lord.

⁶ Therefore a lion from the forest^(A) will attack them,
    a wolf from the desert will ravage^(B) them,
a leopard^(C) will lie in wait near their towns
    to tear to pieces any who venture out,
for their rebellion is great
    and their backslidings many.^(D)

¹⁸ In that day I will make a covenant for them
    with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
    and the creatures that move along the ground.^(A)
Bow and sword and battle
    I will abolish^(B) from the land,
    so that all may lie down in safety.^(C)

⁶ When I fed them, they were satisfied;
    when they were satisfied, they became proud;^(A)
    then they forgot^(B) me.^(C)
7 So I will be like a lion^(D) to them,
    like a leopard I will lurk by the path.
⁸ Like a bear robbed of her cubs,^(E)
    I will attack them and rip them open;
like a lion^(F) I will devour them—
    a wild animal will tear them apart.^(G)

⁹ “You are destroyed, Israel,
    because you are against me,^(H) against your helper.^(I)
