23 (A)They shall not labor in vain
    (B)or bear children for calamity,[a]
for (C)they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the Lord,
    and their descendants with them.
24 (D)Before they call I will answer;
    (E)while they are yet speaking I will hear.
25 (F)The wolf and the lamb shall graze together;
    the lion shall eat straw like the ox,
    and (G)dust shall be the serpent's food.
(H)They shall not hurt or destroy
    in all my holy mountain,”
says the Lord.
