Isaiah 11:6-9
The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling Hebrew; Septuagint [lion will feed] together; and a little child will lead them.

Matthew 6:9-13
"This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, The Greek for [temptation] can also mean [testing]. but deliver us from the evil one. Or [from evil]; some late manuscripts [one, / for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]'
