3 He will take delight in obeying the Lord.He will not judge by mere appearances,or make decisions on the basis of hearsay.
4 He will treat the poor fairly,and make right decisions for the downtrodden of the earth.He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,and order the wicked to be executed.
5 Justice will be like a belt around his waist,integrity will be like a belt around his hips.
6 A wolf will reside with a lamb,and a leopard will lie down with a young goat;an ox and a young lion will graze together,as a small child leads them along.
7 A cow and a bear will graze together,their young will lie down together.A lion, like an ox, will eat straw.
8 A baby will play over the hole of a snake;over the nest of a serpentan infant will put his hand.
9 They will no longer injure or destroyon my entire royal mountain.For there will be universal submission to the Lord’s sovereignty,just as the waters completely cover the sea.
