6-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. 7-The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. 8-The infant will play near the cobra's den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper's nest. 9-They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea

18-I also said to myself, "As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. 19-Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. 20-All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. 21-Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?"
