Isaiah 11:7

11:7 A cow and a bear will graze together,

their young will lie down together. ¹ 

A lion, like an ox, will eat straw.

Isaiah 57:5

57:5 you who practice ritual sex ²  under the oaks and every green tree,

who slaughter children near the streams under the rocky overhangs. ³ 

[11:7]  ¹ tn Heb “and a cow and a bear will graze – together – they will lie down, their young.” This is a case of pivot pattern; יַחְדָּו (yakhddav, “together”) goes with both the preceding and following statements.

[57:5]  ² tn Heb “inflame yourselves”; NRSV “burn with lust.” This verse alludes to the practice of ritual sex that accompanied pagan fertility rites.

[57:5]  ³ sn This apparently alludes to the practice of child sacrifice (cf. TEV, CEV, NLT).
