But he will judge the poor honestly;
    he will be fair in his decisions for the poor people of the land.
At his command evil people will be punished,
    and by his words the wicked will be put to death.
Goodness and fairness will give him strength,
    like a belt around his waist.

Then wolves will live in peace with lambs,
    and leopards will lie down to rest with goats.
Calves, lions, and young bulls will eat together,
    and a little child will lead them.
