Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like an ox;
The suckling shall play upon the hole of the aspic,
And the weaned child lay his hand upon the den of the basilisk:
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain.
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah,
As the waters cover the depths of the sea.—Is. x. 33.
“Contemporary with Isaiah, the sublimest of our prophets, was Micah, the Morasthite, who uttered these words:
The sun goeth down over the prophets
And the day shall be dark over them.
