The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

The verse 6 is found in chapter 11 of Isaiah. Out of judgment emerges the figure of the Branch from the stump of Jesse. The future ruler receives Yahweh’s Spirit and judges with righteousness, especially on behalf of the poor. Peace among animals and the gathering of the scattered represent a restoration affecting both human order and the created world.

Die Wölfe werden bei den Lämmern wohnen und die Parder bei den Böcken liegen. Ein kleiner Knabe wird Kälber und junge Löwen und Mastvieh miteinander treiben.
Morará el lobo con el cordero, y el tigre con el cabrito se acostará: el becerro y el león y la bestia doméstica andarán juntos, y un niño los pastoreará.
Le loup habitera avec l'agneau, Et la panthère se couchera avec le chevreau; Le veau, le lionceau, et le bétail qu'on engraisse, seront ensemble, Et un petit enfant les conduira.
E il lupo dimorerà con l’agnello, e il pardo giacerà col capretto; e il vitello, e il leoncello, e la bestie ingrassata staranno insieme; ed un piccol fanciullo li guiderà.
E morará o lobo com o cordeiro, e o leopardo com o cabrito se deitará, e o bezerro, e o filho de leão e o animal cevado andarão juntos, e um menino pequeno os guiará.
野狼必與小綿羊同住, 豹子與小山羊同臥; 少壯獅子、牛犢和肥畜同群 ; 孩童要牽引牠們。
