Question: According to Isaiah 11:6, in the Messiah’s peaceful kingdom, the leopard shall lie down with what?
Answer: The kid (Isaiah 11:6)
Comments: The leopard lying with the kid (goat) is one of three examples Isaiah uses to illustrate the peaceful nature of a future age. This is an example of synonymous parallelism, a literary device which uses the line to repeat a concept from the preceding line without making any significant addition or subtraction. The line in question, is lesser known than its counterpart, featuring the lion.
“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.” - Isaiah 11:6 (KJV)
