But he shall judge the poor with righteousness,
    and he shall decide for the needy of the earth with rectitude.
And he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
    and he shall kill the wicked person with the breath of his lips.
And righteousness shall be the belt around his waist,
    and faithfulness the belt around his loins.
And a wolf shall stay[a] with a lamb,
    and a leopard shall lie down with a kid,
and a calf and a lion and a fatling together
    as a small boy leads[b] them.
And a cow and a bear shall graze;
    their young shall lie down together.
    And a lion shall eat straw like the cattle.
And an infant[c] shall play over a serpent’s hole,
    and a toddler[d] shall put his hand on a viper’s hole.
They will not injure and they will not destroy on all of my holy mountain,[e]
    for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh,
        as the waters cover the sea.
