Isaiah 11:6

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 wolf also shall dwell with the lamb. Each animal is coupled with that one which is its natural prey. A fit state of things under the "Prince of Peace" (; ; ). These may be figures for men of corresponding animal-like characters (; ; ; ; ; ). Still a literal change in the relations of animals to man and each other, restoring the state in Eden, is a more likely interpretation. Compare with Psalms 8:6, which describes the restoration to man, in the person of "the Son of man," of the lost dominion over the animal kingdom, of which he had been designed to be the merciful vicegerent under God, for the good of his animal subjects (Romans 8:19).
