聖經經文

“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.” “豺狼必與綿羊羔同居，豹子與山羊羔同臥，少壯獅子與牛犢並肥畜同群，小孩子要牽引他們。” （以賽亞書 11：6）

意思

來源及應用

上面的說法是關于救世主來臨的預言。豺狼掠奪羊羔，當救世主再臨時，它們必和睦地相處。現在，更常用見于英語的是“獅子與羊羔同臥”。因此，當人們談到獅子與羊羔同臥，實際上指的是和平的景象。
