Isaiah 65:25

A last feature of the new earth is the peace which shall reign in the animal world. See on ch. Isaiah 11:6-9, from which this verse is quoted. The second and fourth lines are cited literally from Isaiah 11:7; Isaiah 11:9, the first is a condensation of Isaiah 11:6-7 a. The only clause not represented in the original passage is the third line: and dustshall be the serpent's meatan allusion to Genesis 3:14. Duhm, partly on metrical grounds, rejects these words as a gloss.
