6 The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the ox shall feed together; and a little child shall lead them.
The wolf, the leopard, and the young lion are symbolic of wicked oppressors such as Assyria, Egypt, Elam, and Ethiopia. The lamb, the kid, and the calf represent the pious and innocent people of small nations, such as Judah, Israel, and Edom, which were often overrun by the great powers.
