the LORD had said, "The city of Jerusalem laughs at you, Sennacherib, and makes fun of you.

No lions will be there; no fierce animals will pass that way. Those whom the LORD has rescued will travel home by that road.

Wolves and lambs will eat together; lions will eat straw, as cattle do, and snakes will no longer be dangerous. On Zion, my sacred hill, there will be nothing harmful or evil."

I will make a covenant with them that guarantees their security. I will get rid of all the dangerous animals in the land, so that my sheep can live safely in the fields and sleep in the forests.
