and a leopard will lie down with a young goat;

as a small child leads them along.

their young will lie down together.

on my entire royal mountain.

‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?

25:39 When
did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

‘I tell you the truth,
just as you did it for one of the least of these brothers or sisters
of mine, you did it for me.’

and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil
and wine on them. Then
he put him on
his own animal,
brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
