Will There be Lions?Isaiah 11:6-9

6 The wolf will live with the lamb,

the leopard will lie down with the goat,

the calf and the lion and the yearling together;

and a little child will lead them.

7 The cow will feed with the bear,

their young will lie down together,

and the lion will eat straw like the ox.

8 The infant will play near the hole of the cobra,

and the young child put his hand into the viper's nest.

9 They will neither harm nor destroy

on all my holy mountain,

for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD

as the waters cover the sea.

Isaiah 35:8-10

8 And a highway will be there;

it will be called the Way of Holiness.

The unclean will not journey on it;

it will be for those who walk in that Way;

wicked fools will not go about on it.

9 No lion will be there,

nor will any ferocious beast get up on it;

they will not be found there.

But only the redeemed will walk there,

10 and the ransomed of the LORD will return.

They will enter Zion with singing;

everlasting joy will crown their heads.

Gladness and joy will overtake them,

and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

A Formula for DisasterIsaiah 13:9-11See, the day of the LORD is cominga cruel day, with wrath and fierce angerto make the land desolateand destroy the sinners within it.The stars of heaven and their constellationswill not show their light.The rising sun will be darkenedand the moon will not give its light.I will punish the world for its evil,the wicked for their sins.I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughtyand will humble the pride of the ruthless.
