圣经经文

“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.” “豺狼必与绵羊羔同居，豹子与山羊羔同卧，少壮狮子与牛犊并肥畜同群，小孩子要牵引他们。” （以赛亚书 11：6）

意思

来源及应用

上面的说法是关于救世主来临的预言。豺狼掠夺羊羔，当救世主再临时，它们必和睦地相处。现在，更常用见于英语的是“狮子与羊羔同卧”。因此，当人们谈到狮子与羊羔同卧，实际上指的是和平的景象。
