6 Wolves will live with lambs.Leopards will lie down with goats.Calves, young lions, and year-old lambs will be together,and little children will lead them.
7 Cows and bears will eat together.Their young will lie down together.Lions will eat straw like oxen.
8 Infants will play near cobras’ holes.Toddlers will put their hands into vipers’ nests.
9 They will not hurt or destroy anyone anywhere on my holy mountain.The world will be filled with the knowledge of the Lordlike water covering the sea.
10 At that time the root of Jesse will stand as a bannerfor the people ⌊to gather around⌋.The nations will come to him.His resting place will be glorious.
11 At that time the Lord will use his power againto recover what remains of his peoplein Assyria, Upper and Lower Egypt,Sudan, Elam, Babylonia, Hamath,and the islands of the sea.
12 He will raise a banner for the nations ⌊to gather around⌋.He will gather the outcasts of Israeland bring together the scattered people of Judahfrom the four corners of the earth.
